Blue tang nipping at Jewel coral

[stetan]

Just introduced a Blue Tang into my tank yesterday and observe that she nips at my Jewel Coral on and off. She leaves other coral alone.

How can I stop her from nipping at it, it seems to be distressing the Jewel....I thought Blue Tangs are reef-safe?

i shared the same thought from my previous experience. In fact any Tang would do the same
