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?
