Lemonpeel and Open Brain

[AcuraCl1]

I have a 75 gallon reef tank. Everything has been going great, I have a blue hippo tang, 2 clowns, 3 green chromis, and one diamond goby. I decided to add a lemonpeel angel to the tank as my last fish. The angel is beatiful. When I first got him a week ago, he started out not eating because the tang kept chasing him around, 2 days later he started eating pellets, refused to eat the flakes or frozed food. Well I noticed that he nips at all the rocks, pretty much left the corals alone until a day ago. I saw him nipping at my open brain coral. Now my open brain is kinda of shrunk up and he is still nipping at him only. Why is this, and is there anyway to get him to stop. And what can I do to save the open brain, I believe the angel has nipped a little tissue from the coral.

Thanks
Scott

Place a net or a bowl with holes punched in it over the brain, something that allows water to flow threw it, and allows light in.

Lemonpeels (and most other angels, unless I'm mistaken) are not always reef safe, luck of the draw sort of thing:

All of them are not reef safe really...you might get lucky with some or get away with flame or coral beauty but not always...
