I don't know that I could pick a favorite angelfish, but one of my goals for the future is to have a reef tank large enough for an Emperor angelfish, preferably one that grows over a foot long. There's beauty in the colors and patterns on them, but there's a whole separate aspect of beauty when you have the pleasure of seeing a large, mature, healthy adult like that.
I live in São Paulo, Brazil, where the aforementioned study was carried out, and one of the stories told about the maintenance of Pomacanthids in coral systems is that some species collected in the wild have a greater chance of success if they arrive very young, such as Pomacanthus paru , others that are young, but not so young, such as Holacanthus ciliaris, and others, such as Holacanthus tricolor, are the adults that are most likely to adapt to confinement, PRECISELY DUE TO THEIR EATING HABITS! Holacanthus tricolor adults tend to have a more diverse diet and can only live with a small amount of sponges in their diet, unlike young fish, which eat almost exclusively sponges!
My favorite is the Majestic Angel definitely a dream fish of mine. I’ve had great success with dwarf species (bicolor and multicolor) feeding red, green, and brown nori as well as spirulina enriched mysis. They also love to graze on the various sponges that pop up throughout
I have a captive bred Coral Beauty, a captive bread Flame Angel, and a wild caught Red Sea Regal Angel in my 180 mixed reef and the all don’t do any damage to any of my corals. The Regal has munched a couple of Zoanthid colonies but doesn’t touch my Utter Chaos colony. All eat flake and whatever else I feed.
I love when you guys show the fish in the tanks, and home tanks BIG DOGGIE 💯👣

😮🎉
I have emperor, queen, flameback, and two flame angels, all model citzens and haven't touched my corals in my 250 gallon tank
That tank on your display looks mighty small for its inhabitants.
You forgot to talk about the majestic angel lol
Tank is too small for those fish.
