I had similar reservations about dwarf angels too, but I was told that the Coral Beauty was less of a risk for nibbling on things than a Flame Angel when I bought it - I have no evidence for this, it was just what I was told..
My Coral Beauty also spends pretty much all it's time weaving in and out through the rock - it's going to love it when my new rock is cured...
Not really trying to sell you on dwarf angels though, just might not be as bad for 'sampling' your reef as you might initially think.

Actually Rob they have always been my favorites. About 15yrs ago, another reefer and I in Thompson, tried to mate a pair without much luck.. My worry is my clams. I have three now and likely buy another couple.
I once gave up several beautiful clams because my 3yr. old copperband started to pick on them, so trying to watch close what I add this time, as the clams are going to be a feature along with my acros.
They have a baby coral beauty down at the local place. Just gorgeous and healthy. Eating everything. It takes all my will power to not buy it.
