I have a mix reef 60"x15"x12" and I would like to know if there are any angels or butterflies I can add? I know most of them will pick at corals but which are the ones with a less chance of damaging anything?
 
For butterflies: pyramid and zoster butterflies are quite safe, except with xenia, copperbands are pretty safe except for dusters, but can be wuite difficult to keep, longnoses are safe except for dusters and are easier than copperbands.

For angels; Genicanthus species are reef safe. Centropyge species are hit-and-miss with coral. Any other genera are decidedly less safe.
 
My coral beauty doesn't touch anything but it's well fed
 
IME coral beauties and flame Angels have been safe for me. Just my .02
