Yellow Tang eat Yellow Polyps?

Has anyone seen or heard of Yellow Tangs eating Yellow Polyps or Zoos? I just put a Yellow tang in my new reef tank yesterday, he/she is still getting settled in. The Tang has been picking at the macro algae on my live rock which I would expect. However, I noticed today it nipped at my yellow polyps. Is this normal behavior? I am hoping it was just checking it out to see if it is eatable and will not decide to put it on his/her dinner menu. Has anyone ever noted Yellow Tangs going for Polyps or zoos?
 
It is normal for tangs to sometimes pick on certain corals. Zoos and similar type polyps being just a few. My powder blue picks on my kenya trees but I don't mind that :)
