Another Newb with another Newb question.

Welcome to Canreef,

And yes we are an AWESOME bunch of banana's or something.

Chromis are a better species to start with and usually cheaper the clowns and lets face it...I'd rather lose a chromis or two then a clown. Yes once they are in they are a beggar to get out. Having said that If you like the looks of them then go for it.
GO SLOWWW. And I agree with the fact that most angels are munchers of corals. You could try a Bellus, Singapore or maybe a Lamarcks. But I would not have a tank, reef or otherwise without at least one. My personal opinion only though. I LOVE MY ANGELS.
