those fish have been rumored to nip here and there. marc from melev's reef had a video of a blue hippo tang that he removed because it was eating zoas. these fish are all grazers, and will pick the rock and eat at whatever is available to them. if they like it, they will eat it all! try feeding nori or if you don't have that, fresh green veggies like lettuce.

them not getting enough to eat will cause them to try and find other food sources, i.e. your zoas.

I've also heard of hippo tangs becoming nippers. That's not too shocking.
