Has anyone had any issues with watanabei angels in their reef? I hear they are about as reef safe as you can get. Is that truly the case?
 
I have a Watanabe and a Bellus in my mixed reef. They don't touch anything.

Plankton eaters, unlike the other genera of angels. Should be safe. I had a swallow tail, but never the more expensive species.
 
Genicanthus angels are reef safe. I've not heard of one eating coral. They're zooplanktivores, so they eat food from the water column like anthias and wrasses.
 
Thanks for the responses. I havent heard of any nipping at coral, but wanted first hand experiences. Thanks guys!
 
Mine is perfect. Peaceful and bothers nothing. Thinking of getting a second so that one will change to male.
