One spot foxface nipping at sps

[KLittle20]

About a week ago I added a one spot foxface to my tank. Its a beautiful fish and adds a lot to the reef, but today I noticed it nipping at some acros. I've experienced fish in the past nipping at acros and the polyps would stay retracted for a day or two even after the fish was removed. I'm not sure if the foxface is actually eating polyps or eating the slim off the skin because the polyps are fully extended a minute or two after the foxface leaves. I typically feed the tank three times a day. pellets twice and then a mix of algae and brine shrimp. Nori is always in a clip on the side of the tank for her and the tangs. Has anyone else had any experience with this?

It's probably picking at something else, like algae.

Mine appeared to be picking at my acros but was picking algae

So just algae floating in the water that got stuck on the coral?

My foxface would only eat the tops of my green slimer. I rehomed it to a 300g. It was in my 120 and it quickly out grew it. It was a cool fish and ate nori out of my hand.
