I've been researching dwarf angelfish, because I might want one some day. What I've gathered is most often angels won't touch coral if they're well fed. Is this assumption incorrect? Or is it still a 50/50 chance they will eat my coral?
I'm still researching them and it's going to be awhile before I add one to my aquarium.
I have one toadstool, but I find fish more interesting than coral.
 
I’ve personally never tried but I’ve heard getting them small is less of a chance of them nipping. Some say Coral Beauty's are the most “reef safe” but honestly when it comes to any angel it really depends on the fish

If I had to pick one today I'd get a lemon peel angel. They are quite striking.
 
I’ve had multiple coral beauties and flames and I’ve never seen one touch a coral.
 
Toadstools and leathers are probably safe. It's the SPS and LPS polyps that dwarf angels naturally nip at.

And possibly Zoanthids?
 
It all boils down to the individual fish.
This is correct. Some will only nibble while others will feast. As the individual gets older it might change it feeding habits.
