Green Star Burst polyps always look good

angels are usually a toss up on being reef safe.

'shrooms are good, but keep them away from your other corals because they're toxic.

Colt Corals are good, and leathers, and fingers. ( Cladiella, Lobophytum, & Sinularia, respectively. )
Clavularia is also good like MalawianPro suggested, and I was personally always a sucker for zooanthids. Palythoa buttons are cute but horrendously toxic and best left for large tanks. ( they can even kill humans )
Yellow encrusting Alcyonium is very easy, but watch out for the red "Chili" version which isn't.

EDIT: Whoops, I totally forgot about the angelfish. If yours is a polyp-eater, then it's hard to say for sure what will happen to any of these species if added to your tank. It's a good guess though that the angel will munch on them with glee.
