There will always be exceptions to the rule, which makes it so inticing :wink:

Again, specimens of the same species can display different behaviors. You might get one that won't touch a coral or clam, ever. You might get one that goes after them right away. Than, there are those that show no interest for a year or two, before all hell breaks loose.

The only large angels that are guaranteed reef safe are the ones in the Genicanthus genus.
