Lymphocystis strains seem to be highly specific in which fish families or even species they target. So unless you have other angels in there it is unlikely that any of the other fish gets it. And even if this particular strain could infect other fish in your tank, those would generally need to have a compromised immune system for Lymphocystis to have a chance to infect them.
