Hey! Wanted to see if I can put a Joculator angelfish in my reef tank? I currently have bounce mushrooms, acans, torches, hammers and a trachyphyllia for my LPS. Getting mixed reviews about them nipping at stuff. I also have SPS as well. Thanks!

Meatier corals will always be at risk for nipping. Keeping the Angel well fed can curb this and the occasional nip won’t hurt anything. I don’t think I’d be overly worried but it’s a risk
 

i cant think

If the corals are large enough you may find you don’t spot the nipping but if they’re just small frags you will spot nipping.

210 gallon tank with bunch of wrasses, gem (4in), purple (4in), powder blue (3in) and a clown.
Keep an eye with the tangs picking on it. Those are nasty to new fish. As for the corals its a risk, its an angel! Lol. I say if youre willing to risk coral then go for it. But I keep fowlr tanks for this reason! Angels are too pretty to pass up
