Help!!! Yellow Tang Nipping on both my brain coral.

[r6-rossi]

Guys...pls help...do not know why my YT keep nipping on both my brain coral...

When first i add in this YT, abt a month ago, in my tank...it did not disturb the corals...

But since yesterday...i observed that both my brain coral did not open up and fluffy as usual...

This is when i notice my cuckkoo YT nipping on it...

Can some experts out there tell me why this is happening...??

Btw my YT about 4" in size...

Thanks....

Some tangs go bonkers and start nipping. It happens to me as well so u have to decide which is more precious to you - your brain or your yellow tang . I value my corals more so will remove whatever fish that harms my corals
