I know by defintion that a FOWLR tank is fish and live rock only.
What I was hoping is that someone would know what types of inverst would be save with angles
Blue face
Queen
Flagfin.
Thanks

Angles are better than squares... ;-)

OK, bad joke.

Before adding a large angel, consider what else you might want to have. Queens and Blue Face angels are much less reef-safe than other angels. Zoanthids, LPS are generally harder to keep with large angels. In my experience, the following large angels are POSSIBLE candidates:

Emperor/Imperator: I have one, loves zoas. Also like clams and some LPS. Leaves palys, SPS and tentacled corals alone

Rock Beauty: my favorite angel. Insanely difficult to get to eat. Eats only sponge in the wild. Will pick on LPS, clams and zoas. Would get another one if my Imperator kicked the bucket.

I have kept cleaner shrimp, mushrooms, colt coral, hammer coral, brain coral, a BTA and emerald crabs with a Blue-faced angel and blue-girdled angel and had no problems.
