Coral Beauty has gas?

It seems strange to me, but every so often, my coral beauty burps. Like literally, a trail of bubbles out its mouth and gills. I'm not sure of the cause, or if its reason for concern, I'm just trying to figure out why it may do it. Fish seems to be completely fine, eats, swims, plays nicely, but has a bit of a gas problem.
 
It probably ingests an air bubble from time to time. If this is the case, then it will simply "burp" it out of the mouth and gills. If it was any gas disease, there would be other problems associated with it, so I doubt there is any real issue here.
 
I had a problem with a male watanabei angel that would snag food off the surface, injesting some air at the same time. A few hours later, the result was pretty funny - the fish would have a minor positive bouyancy problem until it tooted bubbles out the other end! Fish farts? That was a first for me. Happened just about every day.
