Reef safe butterflies or angels?

I was wondering if there is any reef safe butterfly fish or angelfish?

I have a lemon peel angel and it is fine in my reef. Never bothers the coral.

Copper Banded Butterfly. A good fish to help keep out pest apistasia as well. Usually eats mysis and brime as well. It is hit and miss with a flame angel and there are a couple othersa I just cant remember there names right now. Most are moderate care level or higher and need real good water and have been known to nip sps. Hope this helps, Shaun

Pearl Scale Butterfly does aptasia too but will also eay featherdusters as well.

I currently have a Flame, Coral Beauty, Black tailed Lemon Peel and an Eibly's angel all residing in my reef. I havn't had any problems with any of them. But every fish will have it's own personality so it's kinda luck of the draw. Also I would suggest that if you plan on having more than one angel fish in that same tank you should add them all at the same time to avoid territorial fighting.

Great question! I'm hoping to add a Flame Angel to my reef but some say okay, others don't.

I love the Lemon Peels.

Flame angels are a good choice. Buttefly fish will always try to nibble the corals so I never keep them in my tanks.
