Need Help choosing coral

[ZombieEngineer]

I can't decide what would be a good coral to place on my front right island. This tank will eventually hold a dwarf angel and possibly a dwarf puffer.

I want something reasonably fast growing that will stay on that island and is unlikely to be snacked on my the future angel and/or puffer.

Upper rockwork will be rainbow montipora up top, BTA and rock flower nems in the middle zones, extra cuttings of euphyllia from my other tank and more rock flower nems on the bottom, meteor shower cyphastrea on the left rock.

I had considered clove polyps but have heard horror stories of those completely overtaking a tank similar to Xenia and GSP.

Maybe some type of leather coral. LPS is most likely to get nipped at by the fish.

Will the fish in question eat pavona? You could even get away with hydnophora or galaxea if it's contained to the island and there's nothing too close on the sandbed

Could also do some pretty macro algae, sponges, and or gorgonians

I know for sure macro algae and sponges would be angel food in an instant. Gorgonians may be safe but haven't researched them specifically with angels.

I have 2 dwarf angels, a flame and a multibar, they don’t even glance at any of it. It’s the bigger angels that tend to be more of the sponge and macro algae eaters. My multibar does like acans though.
