Do angelfish, large or small, bother a CUC? I have a 220 FOWLR tank with nems. I have peaceful fish and would like to get a CUC. I have a few turbo snails in there and a sandsifting star and chocolate chip star. I'm confused on whether or not my flame and koran angels will be an issue if I get more "delicate" CUC members like spider crabs, or crabs in general, nudibranch, lobtsers. Anything basically to steer clear of? Websites say they're ok "with caution." Some of my research is all over the board as far as this is concerned. Appreciate your help!

I have never had a Dwarf Angel pick at or eat members of the CUC.
Angels tend to be coral nippers and eaters, they may pick on clams.
I am inclined to think the website meant reef safe with caution regarding corals, clams..
I would definitely add some inverts without hesitation.
