dwarf bicolor?
I have a dwarf cherub in my reef, he is very well behaved. I have softies lps and sps, he picks at the algae on the rocks and glass, thats about it. also eats algae off the hermits/snails lol.

Bicolors are notorious coral nippers so your coral will very likely be picked at, and they can kinda be dicks (in a tank with limited territory this can end badly). Plus, with a fish that reaches 6" I would consider a 30 gallon too small.

agreed, I read up and asked a lot of questions before risking an angel, and found that dwarf species have the best track record
1-Dwarf cherub having the best (or so I read)
2-Dwarf Flame angel
3-coral beauty

in that order, again this is just what I have read, and been told by lfs and fellow reefers. My experience with my cherub 3 months in is very positive I would recommend them above all. but its always buyer beware and probably a 50/50 chance of getting a bad one

All the angelfish mentioned so far in this thread are "dwarf", in the centropyge genus.
Good thing that your cherub (C. argi) is well behaved. Most of argi I have seen and heard about are little devils.
I also agree that bi-color is a little too big for a 30 G tank consider that bi-color is territorial, comparing to other centropyge.
