Hello i have two wrasses leopard and halichoeres melanurus they are nipping the lps coral what should I do ? I feed 3 time a day
 
generally they don't and may be going after food particles or Pods
 
Agree with the two above posts. I have a leopard as well and nips various locations through out the tank with no issues.

I agree they’re most likely snacking on something crawling on the coral. Hopefully pods and not some other pest
He cut one of the head :/

I would call that accidental. Also incidental. My torches lose tips all the time whether from flow or something else. Nothing to worry about IMO.
