Reef safe angels or butterfly's ??

I think all fishes are 50/50. My buddy used to have a purple tang that loves zoas.

SPS: Emperor Angel, Flame Angel, Rock Beauty. All have done OK with SPS. Zoas and clams are another story...

Zoo's are like drugs to angels, Brains and similar corals are tasty. Most other corals are okay. Of my three flame angels, two where safe with anything but my female grazes on SPS, but does not kill. I had a juvenile blue face that destroyed everything, and yet had a large male that ate nothing. I had a juvenile emperator that grew up with a clam, and then after several years and becoming an adult it started picking. Did not kill it, I just got tired of seeing the clam shut when the imp got close. Of the most safe so far has been the Regal from the Red Sea, the worse is a Queen. My Copperband is safe except for feather dusters. In this hobby there are no guarantees, I remember selling a purple tang to someone and it ate $200 worth of coral before the fish store could remove it.

My flame has been with me 2 years no issues.......

Key is (imo) keep em fed and happy and they wont make food of anything else.....

I feed 2-3 times a day

I have a flameback Angel. Only time he stresses the coral is when he's eating algae around it and bumps it.

I have kept several Watanabe's Angelfish over the years, they are the only 100% reef safe angel, and they are very nice looking.

Are the smaller angels such ss the Flame Angel and Coral Beauty aggressive to other peaceful tank mates?

I can't answer for the flame you mentioned. I can however tell you that I had a Fisheri Dwarf Angel that was a terror in my old tank. He took out at least three fish. It was so bad that when I fed he was the only one that would come out to eat. The others would wait until he was full or a piece of food would float by them.

I also had a coral beauty that was a perfect tank mate.

So probably hit or miss.. I'm tired if aggressive fish bullying others in my reef tanks so I'm going to hold off on the Angels.
