Flame angel in a reef tank?

[doomus]

The LFS told me that a flame angel would be fine with corals. Has anyone had any experience with either a flame or a coral beauty in a reef tank, and are there any corals that I should be concerned about?

Some Flames will nip at clams. I have one in my reef that don't bother anyone.

Dennis,

They are hit and miss, I have one that is about 2.5" he has nipped at some SPS in the past, he doesnt touch the clam. I guess if you keep them well fed they tend not to be a nipper.

i tried both in a reef tank and both ate xina and occasionally picked at corals. so i decided not to include either in my reef.

currently have both, haven't had any problems from either of them.
i've always heard that it goes both ways. some good guys, some just angel fish.
