Large angels in a reef tank

[jlinzmaier]

I absolutely love how the Koran and Imperator angels look as juveniles. Has anybody ever tried keeping any of the large angels in a reef tank? I've heard that certain species are OK and don't bother corals as juveniles but will as they get larger. I'd love to hear about any experiences before I go out and buy one and it ends up eating my entire tank of corals.

I've had a Imperatur juvie. It was behaved for the first month, then it grew more interested in polyps and LPS. I've also tried Bluecheeks, Asfur, Griffisi, and Scribbed .... all eventually would nip or eat corals or clams. Personally, I wouldn't try another large angel again other then Genicanthus sp and maybe a Regal. Heck, I don't even trust dwarf angels nowadays
