Semi aggressive , “with caution” is used for them and most dwarf angels. If you do try one I’d make last or near last that you put in. I don’t have a dwarf angel but if I did I’d probably go with a Cherub Angel. They’re about the smallest of the bunch and supposedly the most likely to work in a reef.

I just put a lemon peel in mine and it's semi aggressive to my clowns of all fish
Doesn't have a go all day but every now and again it decides in passing to have a go. The female clown is submissive which is surprising as she has teeth and is bigger.
It leaves every other fish alone. I was thinking the clowns would kill it since they killed the last few fish I added

Does it nip at corals

Does it nip at corals

Sometimes. I have a load of Sakura sunrise I wouldn't mind it nipping to nubs.
I think I have enough for it to graze on without worrying too much about corals. But it does have a nip sometimes.
It take flake and just last night took interest in my nori clip.

I got flame angel and coral beauty in 200gallon tank. No aggression from my flame angel at all, no coral nipping either. Coral beauty was in the tank first and let's the flame angel know from time to time. Both are well fed.

I have one in a 210 (used to be in a 92) and haven’t had any problems… actually hides a lot. I haven’t noticed him nipping any corals
