Crinum Thaianum(onion plant). google it , it looks just like a green onion. easy to grow. i have some in my cichlid tanks and they don't even mess with it. i have one that  has grown to the top of a 29 gal. and then spreads all the way across the top

Angels eat plants?  I never knew!  I have 2 huge Amazon Swords in my 125 at the shop.  They started as baby plants.  The Angels never bothered them.

I've never seen them forage much on plants, except to pick fallen food on a leaf,etc....or clean for spawning

Not sure what this plant is, but it was huge and full. It is totally gone now. They had eaten a lot of it when this pic was taken.
