I agree it is hit or miss. I have a Coral Beauty that ate all of my green star polyps and almost wiped out my xenia. I ended up having to "re-aquascape" in order to get it out of the softy tank and into my FOWLR. I think you take a risk with any angel. I had a flame angel that did not bother anything but I lost it the power outages this winter

I'll take the coral beauty from you, I need something to trim my Xenia back

The one I got about 4 weeks ago, completely mowed down my xenia, blasted through a frilly carnation type of coral (hot pink, ugh!!) and seems to be doing it when no one is around!! Sneaky little fugga. Never had that problem until I got him. I've just given up to the fact that I will not have any xenia for now. He is very beautiful though, has a great personality and gets along with everybody in the tank. It's all about the give and take.............

Yes when young, but as they get older it only takes one bite of a nice meaty coral and it is all over

i find that both of myb angels nip at corals if i am not constantly dropping food in the tank. so basicly i overfeed and do lots of waterchanges and have no problems

I've had one for three years in a mixed reef, no problems with anything, I think most of the centropyges are reef safe more often than not, but it's always a roll of the dice...
