I have a regal angel that eats everything softies, lps, zoos, sps.

The only things I have found that can tolerate being munched on are sps

I have 3 angels in each of my display tanks. The largest in each of my tanks are Majestic Angels of between 4 - 5". I find that they all pick at things in the tank with the smaller angels doing the most continuous picking. Angels are very inquisitive and will immediately go over and pick at anything new put into their tank. My tanks are completely over grown with GPS, Xenia, Anthelia, Kenya Tree and Zoo's and if they are in fact eating any of the corals it is impossible to tell. Some of my friends that have had problems with angels in their reef tanks have had problems with the angels going after the more meaty Brain Corals.

The corals that seem the most tempting to angels are brain-type and sometimes Euphyllias. My Majestic & other angels seemed to nip at the puffy brain corals a lot.

No the Angel do not seem to bother the clams. I put the clams out of the main swimming lanes of the tank as the clams close every time a fish swims by and if they are in the main swimming lanes they are closing all the time. After a while the clams do not open all the ways and are just not happy.

Tony
I just added 5 angels to my acro sps tank.
6.5" Majestic
5" Emperor
4" Regal
3" Goldflake
2.5" Flame

So far so good with the acros. I don't have lps or softies or clams in there.
