It's an angel. Flip a coin. Some will, some won't, some might.

Dwarf angelfish usually don't eat corals. What they find tasty is algae that may grow on your corals. When people see their dwarf angelfish nipping at their corals that's what the angelfish are trying to eat. Your corals may or may not like the nipping.

What he said.

In my own experience (others may have differing opinions from their experience); the order of pygmy angels from worst coral munchers to relatively non-coral munchers:

Lemon Peel Angel (Worst)
Coral Beauty
Gold Flake Angel
Golden Angel
Flame Angel
Potter's Angel
African Flameback (Least)

I agree 100% - I have had mine for over 10 years and it is a model citizen but I know of others that had them and were a problem fish.

Had a coral beauty that was fine for over a year then developed a taste for zoas.
