no, the one i am talking about is a dwarf. kind of like a coral beauty, there could also be other names. but just to be safe-Centropyge aurantia, Centropyge aurantius

Ahh...Yeah, definately different. I'm sure someone will know for sure if they are reef safe, but going on what I've read about quite a few angels in general is a lot of them have to be monitored when in a tank with corals...Best of luck with it

I believe they are like most pygmy angels. Typically do not nip at corals but definitely have that potential. It is very much determined by their personality. If they nip, it tends to be things with polyps (leathers, green-star-polyps, etc) or sometimes clams. They are unlikely to go after SPS.
