Has anyone had any experience with a bluespotted angelfish? (Chaetodontoplus caeruleopunctatus) I think they are really cool, and everything I read says to have caution with reef setups with them, but I wanted to see if anyone had any first hand info.

Any angels are risky although kept Centropyges in the reef. Depending on each individuals, some bother/eat certain coral from the beginning, some did not bother at all, some started after few yrs w/o any mishap.
This bluespotted angel should definitely be kept out of reef, IMO. Even well fed , can nip/eat LPS/softies along with Tridacna mantle, polyps. As matter of fact any Chaetodontoplus, Holacanthus, Paracentropyge, Pomacanthus.

If want to try Angel, consider Genicanthus sp.

Because one Angel did well in reef w/o any mishaps does not mean you will have same luck. As I mentioned, they can develop/regain their tastes for natural diet after few yars.
