100% reef safe angels and butterflies??

[eliramos]

I recently got a coral beauty in reef tank
And he's been a model citizen.
He picks at the rocks all day and I feed him multiple times a day as well. I also got him small so hopefully before he's even had a chance to taste a coral lol
But from what I've heard it's 50\50.
I will tell you my kole tang was not a fan of him in the beginning though
But that's the only issue I've had
Good luck!

Is it possible to keep butterflies and angels and make a list of corals etc. That cannot be kept with them? As i might be going for a display refugium, so can keep them there, especially clams, feather dusters, seafans, etc.
Will look more natural.

I have only had a flame angel and it's never touched a coral. I have mainly LPS corals and it doesnt seem interested on my corals at all

Longnose and copperband will pick on all lps or jus acans?

Longnose and cb may pick at acans and clams and will most likely pick at feather dusters.

Pyramid, zoster, and Heniochus diphreutes may eat xenia, anthelia, and gsp.

After that butterflies get less and less safe.

My potters angel stays away from my corals

I like flame angel, coral beauty, blue ring, emperor, cbb, longnose and false moorish. I know i cant keep all of them, but id like to select from these only. Rest i do like, but not as much as these. Also how difficult are they to feed in qt.

The cbb will be the most difficult to get eating. The rest shouldn't pose much of a problem.

Ill buy only if its eating frozen food at the lfs.

Currently im intrested in what fishes would not nip at. So accordingly ill plan

I've kept the following angels with minimal to no nipping (in an SPS reef): Golden Dwarf, Multibar (3 different individuals), potters Angels (3 different individuals), Lamarck angel, swallowtail, multicolor, and black Knox.

The following Angels nipped: one Multibar, eibli, and lemonpeel.

My fav are longnose, cbb and flame. What would they nip at? Its gona be a mixed reef

I kept a long nose once a long time ago and don't recall any nipping. I forgot to add that I've also kept a black velvet angel that nipped at palythoas (but didn't touch Zoas).

I have tried a few CBB's but never have had long enough success to gauge their reef-safeness.

I've also never kept a flame because they seemed to be more prone to nipping. I also just prefer the look of a potters more.

The flame could be a nipper of SPS, LPS, softies or all three. It'll really depend on the individual. I don't have much butterfly experience so someone else is probably better suited to answer this, but I believe your LPS and softies would be more at risk with a CBB or long nose.
