You've kept them with a wide variety of corals I take it?Least aggressive and most likely not to touch a coral is the Cherub.
They can have some aggression though to some fish but I have never had one touch a coral. I have 3 right now and have had dozens in the past.
I have had most of the others and they all have nipped corals here and there and some worse than others.
I love your harem tank and have watched your videos. Are the males larger than the females normally?I keep Flame, Coral Beauty, Cherub, Fireball (Brazilian Flameback), and African Flameback before. All are OK. I do think that feeding them heavy does prevent/eliminate coral picking. I never have enough problem with mine picking coral and required removal from the tank.
45 gal, especially the cube type tank is a little too small for all but the smallest of Dwarf Angels.
I would recommend either Cherub, Fireball or Flameback. Other pygmy angels does not look as nice as these three species.

I have a thread on them here, including video of the tank.
My Centropyge acanthops harem, African Flameback Dwarf Angel
I have to reset up my office 65 gal tank this year. It sprung a leak after 7 years or so. After much deliberation, I settle with a list of fishes as below: Tomini Tang Copper Banded Butterfly Harem of 3 African Flameback dwarf angels A pair of clown fish, Black snowflakes, breed by a friend of...www.reef2reef.com

i like the potters angel (likely my fav).. and the golden angel... I never had issues with coral (but YMMV)So I want to add a smaller angelfish to my mixed 45gallon reef tank. I have considered cherubs, flame angelfish and coral beautys but have all heard they may nip at corals which I want to avoid. I know that is hit or miss depending on the fish but I have two questions.
1. Which of the smaller angelfish are the best in your opinion (personality, aggression, etc.)?
2. What is the best way to minimize coral aggression or nipping?
i found the smallest coral beauty i could and added it to my reef tanks, im 3/0 at them being reef safe.Well put in the first half haha, I agree. I guess I just wanted to hear some experiences with different ones. That is mostly how my tank is setup, but it does have a zoa garden and some mushrooms which is what I worry about.

I see that you also have multi-barred angelfish. Any tips on successfully keeping them? I'm aware that they are finicky eaters but I have my eyes set on them and I'm willing to join the battle of keeping them in my systemIm not sure if this is in your considerations, but a starcki damsel has the temperament and size of a dwarf angel, looks like the afrcian flame back, and doesnt eat corals. Might be a good alternative if youre interested.
Thats my one
