Well, unless I'm mistaken really the only danger to keeping an angel is that they can eat your corals, but if you don't have corals in the tank, problem solved

There are no truly reef safe angles. You can choose species that are less likely to cause a problem, but it all comes down to the individual fish.

Some are fine, others even of the same species will lunch on your corals and sponges, still others will start out fine and then suddenly turn bad.

So if you add an angel, always have a plan in case it doesn't work out.

Many angles love sponges, and it's a big part of their natural diet. I would avoid the sponge in you want an angel.

Not necessarily. Some angles such as a pygmy angel, or flameback angel are much less likely to attack your corals. The key is to have a plan for the fish in case it doesn't work out.
