50/50, some say 100%. One thing is for sure, it's a big risk. Don't even try. It applies to all angels. One day it can suddenly turn manic and start eating your corals and clams.

Just avoid them in a reef tank.

IMHO,

chances of an angel being reef-safe is low.

learn it the hard way. had a flame angel that was well-behaved, then intro another angel n learn all the bad coral-picking habits from it!

an angel leave ur corals alone but might decide on a new menu one day... ;)

and bi-color not easy to keep/feed.

i think tangs are a safer bet in ur reef tank

I personally think normal angel will peck at coral but dwarf angel will have 50-50 chance of not peck...

50% chance it won't peck at the corals on introduction into the tank. 99% chance it will if kept long enough.
