Who here has success keeping an angelfish that has not eaten zoanthids?

Even though it’s 50/50 at best for some species, It would be nice to see which species people have had success with for those thinking about rolling the dice. Specifically for zoanthids though as those are more at risk to be sampled.

I have a potters that hasn’t nipped one (knock on wood). Anyone else have success with certain dwarf or larger (non-Genicanthus) angelfish with zoas?
 
I’ve had a coral beauty for over a year and hasn’t touched a coral yet.
 
My venusta doesn’t care about zoas, it’s the butterflies that harmed them. But I have had bad luck with Xiphypops and zoanthids.

I've had my Coral Beauty Dwarf Angel with a few Zoanthid Polyps and it's never had even the slightest interest in them, had them both for well over a year.
