Has anyone had any experience with these fish?? I have heard different stories but some say it is agressive, some say it isn't and some say it is reef safe, some say it isn't. Please Help :)

They can be aggressive toward similar looking fish, and may pick at coral polyps. Many are fussy eaters, but once established, very hardy. I wouldn't put on in a new tank or one with little LR, though, simply because they spend a lot of time picking at live rock.

I have had one for a month. S(he) seems to have a lot of personality and enjoys lots of hiding spaces. He also is a very active swimmer....
I do not have any LR yet, so I dont know how he'd be with it, but was told the same thing that he will pick at the rock a lot.

I had one several months ago and my Rusty Angel chased him around alot and he really never started eating and I found him dead. I have a smaller one in my Quarantine tank which seems to be doing ok. I have not seem him eat, he may be eating at other times. There is no LR in this tank.

Well if there's no live rock, and you haven't seen him eat he probably isn't. I've had mine about a year. I QT'ed him in a tank with live rock, and good job as he didn't touch floating food for the first month.
Many find them delicate, but if you can get a healthy one established they are pretty tough. They are very aggressive, and one of the less reef safe angels
