Fins nipped on my Sailfin

Not sure if there is anything I can or should do in this situation. I have a 180 FOWLR with about 250 Lbs. of LR. My tank has been up for several months and I have the following stock list:
Gray Angel- 7 inches (Boss of the Tank, at feeding time), Koran Angel (Juvenile colors), and my latest addition, Small 3 inch Sailfin Tang ( came out of qt 4 days ago). The morning of day 2 I noted a small nip and some shredding on lower rear fin. Now today I noticed some shredding on the upper rear fin, nothing serious. The Koran seems the most aggressive towards the sailfin. The gray only when the sailfin gets near his favorite cave. The angels get along great, and none of the other fish seem to be picked on. Just the fin nips and occasional short chase when the sailfin gets to near the angels. The sailfin is very active, and eating well, doesn't seem particularily bothered by the angels. He usually just makes a quick juke, and flairs his fins all the way open when the angels dart at him.

Any suggestions? or do you think it will subside?
