Depends on the angel with all angels other than the swallow tails there is some risk but i have a quite a few customers who keep both with no problems,but then again most of them have sps tanks.

No angel is guaranteed to be reef-safe.
Some will pick at your corals while others of the same species will not. Its really a "Try at your own Risk". That being said I have a dwarf angel that doesn't touch anything. (So far...) I also know of quite a few others keeping dwarfs without any problems as well.

My cherub angel was completely reef-safe. The "experts" state that only the dwarf-dwarfs, like Flame-backs & Cherubs, are completely reef-safe & all the rest are semi-reef-safe.

The flameback angel we had in our 120g went after snails
 I would not consider them reef safe.

Of my friends who have flame angels, almost all are reef-safe. Sorry, I don't remember anybody with a bi-colour.

Every thing i have read suggests that bicolour angels are ones least likely to be reef safe. I have a flame angel who picks at small polyps but she has never killed any coral. The corals just put there polyps out at night
