Besides the famous Regal, what AngelFish have you had success keeping in an SPS Dominate Tank. I'm thinking of adding one to my new 250 gallon setup, but not sure which one will work best.

I added a Red Sea Regal recently, and so far so good.

Any of the Genicanthus species will work. My favorites are the G. semifasciatus, watanabe and caudovittatus.

I previously had an Emperor, but didn’t quite work out, and am currently considering adding a Conspic.

Have a pair of G melanospilodis which are of course model

All I hear is "it depends" on all the fancy larger species - I like Mark Van der Wahls approach, find an angel you like, see what coral it hits, then decide that is not the type of coral you will collect

With only 2 years of experience this time around, and with SPS really starting to take off, I will not opt for "WITH CAUTION" angels.

Yea…I like nice looking fish like anyone. But to me in the end, it’s the corals that keep you in the hobby. If you have to choose between the two, it’s a win for the coral every time.
