Scopas Tang picking at open brain coral

My Scopas Tang has been picking at my open brain.
Ive moved the brain to the other side of the tank, is there anything else i can do to try and keep this behavior in check? I put nori in the tank every other day.
He keeps picking at it even when nori is on the clip.

Once that behavior starts, there's really not much you can do. Either the Brain Coral or the Tang will need to go.

Yeah my Hippo tang demolished my open brain. Ive been reading a couple posts lately about tangs feeding on brain corals. Like stated above its either the Tang or the Brain.
