Hey was curious on peoples thoughts about this tang. I've had him for about a year now and he started nipping at corals about a month ago. Haven't noticed any bad effects on the corals. Should I be worried about this?? Is this going to harm my corals in the long run.

Unfortunately, some tangs do nip at corals. Most of them don't but I've read that sometimes you may get one that does. Usually they are trying to get to some algae or slime that's on the coral and not necessarily eating the coral. It's not really limited to species either. I have a hippo tang that does this from time to time
