Anyone out there have any experience with Angels and Bubble tip Nems?

If the Angel nips at the nem will it get a sting?

I have never had issues with angels and anemones - I assume because of stinging, and my clowns would never allow them to be nipped.

I have a Show Queen Angel, Changing Emperor Angel, and a Changing Passer Angel in with three RBTA,
Another tank has a Flame and until recently had a potters angel in with 5 RBTA without issues for several years,
And I had a coral beauty with RBTA for years too.
 
I just had a coral beauty that was dumb and liked to swim near a bta that the clowns weren't hosting. The next day the coral beauty is belly up on the sand bed and the clowns are hosting the nem now. Coral beauty was stung but not eaten
 
None of our angelfish have ever picked at BTA's. (Genicanthus bellus, Genicanthus semifasciatus, Centropyge loricula, Centropyge flavissima, and Pygoplites diacanthus)
 
i watch my tank when i can from work with a foscam at home. I am pretty sure i saw my blue face take a nip, i watch all the time and never saw them try. the nem is fine so was wondering if the angel actually got a sting or not and was just testing it out.
