I believe they have a large preference towards sps but have a particular special spot for sponges; i could see them picking at lps and softies too though. the problem with a lot of angels is that they are largely hardwired to these foods and often just won't accept prepared foods. Make sure whatever food you offer is rich in sponge content. I have heard that coral beauties are the least likely to pick coral within the angelfish; lol which makes them 50/50 really. blue faced and imperators are usually kept in FOWLRs for a reason; probably are a few exceptions... there always are... but i doubt there's more than a few. im no angel expert though.

Any of the Genicanthus angels are reef safe.

I found angels that I have kept left my sponges alone, but if they did start to pick on my corals it always began with my zoas.

My large angels (blueface, queen, emperor, & blue ring) eat zoos and most leather corals. They pick at my colt coral and my tree coral but they don't seem to do any real damage. They leave my LPS and ugly brown zoos alone. I don't have sps but I wouldn't trust them with sps. My coral beauty has never gone after any corals.
