If you use a reasonable salt you don’t have to worry about chemistry other than keep salinity and temp correct. Also water clean (good husbandry) and low nitrate no ammonia and nitrite

I have a Coral Beauty that migrated from my first tank into my 220, then I introduced a flame angel, both are model citizens and I enjoy them both alot.

I have a flame, a coral beauty, and a Potter's in my 110 gallon. All of them are fine with corals, and haven't even bothered my giant clam. They do well when they get fed frequently. Also trying to convince a LFS here to sell me the Colin's angel out of their display tank.
When my 380 gallon was running I kept 2 flames, 2 coral beauties, a potters, 2 bicolor, a lemonpeel, a nox, a multicolor, and 2 multibar with no problems.

Coral beauty are great durable and long lived. They tend to just graze all day. Eibli angels are also long lived and durable and will get a little larger than the typical dwarf angels. Just make sure your tank has something for them to graze on as that is pretty much all they do all day long.

It is but also spendy and can be finnicky about eating.

Someone asked if any Angels were reefsafe. Everything I find says the Bellus Angel is reefsafe.
Also one of the few fish that I think the female is prettier than the male
The Genicanthus Angels are all generally considered reef safe (ie Swallowtail, Lamarck's, Bellus, Wetannabei) and the Female Bellus is about as gorgeous as any of them get and it stays on the smaller size for a full size angel (about 7 inches max).
What are the other two above the Tigerpyge?There are a bunch of spectacular hybrids. Solar Flare is cool, but the tigerpyge (bottom picture) is my personal favorite. Hybrid of lemon peel and eibli. Sometimes available, though quite variable in appearance and ALWAYS expensive. Thanks to,reef builders for the amazing pictures.

Middle is paracentropyge venusta x multifasciata and top is an aberrant "snow leopard" multibar
A friend of mine has a 200 gallon that's about 10-12 years old and had a bunch of different fishes even a clown trigger but over the years they grew and now only the dog face puffer is left he ate all the rest one at a time.

Hi Colin - maybe this reply is too late but I have a Flameback in a 15G for several months now and I love it. I have it with a 6 line (who has been a model citizen) and a yellow coris wrasse and they are fine. I also had a fairy wrasse and the angel did pester that and so I removed it.
I looked up this thread to see if I could find anything about pygmys eating clove polyps as one got eaten overnight but I think it's my emerald crab (my small zoas have never been touched). I heard these are reef safe (and I looked it up before I purchased it).
I did purchase it because it is such a beautiful fish - I had seen them online but in person they are stunning. I am soon moving the angel into my new RSR250 - the emerald probably won't be going in with it

How long they are in the same tank now?Hi Colin - maybe this reply is too late but I have a Flameback in a 15G for several months now and I love it.

Flameback - not a Flame (no way a flame would be possible) - yeah it's been like 6 months I guess. I had a bigger tank to move them to but couldn't catch them and didn't want to smash up my coral. I'm most surprised at how good the six line has been.
Next week I am moving the coral across to my R2R250 I have some black mollies in. I will trade the sixline and QT the angel + coris where it is with some Prazi and maybe hydroxide. Then the angel will go into the RSR250 and I will keep the Coris where it is for when I get new coral.
