Tangs are reef-safe. (mostly vegetarians)
Cherub angels are beautiful dwarf-dwarf angels that are almost always r-s. Watanabe or Lamark's or Japanese Swallowtail angels are planktivores.

I had a flame but she ended up picking at my brain and now with the stress the brain died. So I would be careful on what types of coral you have before you get one.

Actually I share the same opinion as Psyire on angels BUT they are so beautiful I have certainly been tempted to try. I have a coral beauty in my 230 that has never bothered anything YET. I would love to catch him and get him out of there but am not willing to tear my tank apart to catch a fish that really hasn't done anything wrong. I also have a Moorish Idol in my 190 that other than peck at a few zoo skirts has not bothered anything LPS or SPS and even if she does she's staying! I would love to get a conspic or a gold flake angel and think if I did ever find one I might just give it a try - particularly with the conspic.

If you guys are recommending tangs I think the only way I'd like to go is with a Regal Tang. I've heard stories about how hard they are to keep though. Anyone have a personal experience?

How large of a tank are you running? Regal/hippo tangs are one of the easier tangs to keep although is prone to getting HLLE and as with all tangs is prone to ich. IMO the easiest tang to keep is probably a yellow tang and their vibrant colour is always nice. Regals get quite large and you probably need at the very least a 75g but preferably larger.
For colourful fish you may want to consider a wrasse. Some of the fairy and flasher wrasses are very colourful and active.

Yeah my tank is relatively small at only 39 gallons. That's why I like the Flame Angel because it doesn't get over 5 inches, if that.
