Powder Brown turning into lawnmower!

I have had my powder brown tang for a couple months now, and he has been nothing but mellow. I started feeding him nori in the past month along with the normal feedings of mysis/plankton, and lately he has begun picking at my corals! He daily picks apart my green star polyps, and has begun picking at my green sinularia. Is this normal for a powder brown?

I wouldn't go as far as normal, but it's certainly not unheard of for most tangs. Not really much you can do but get him out or remove the pieces he likes and hope he doesn't develop a taste for others.
