: Hi,
: I just picked up a Powder Blue Tang and it nibbles at my live rocks and scrapes itself against it? Is this normal or do I need to keep an eye for ICH?
: Thanks in advance.

Do you have any predator fish in the tank? If not you may want to look at getting a cleaner shrimp. They will just attach themselves to the tang and clean it, this way your tank won't be scratching on stuff. The nibbling on the live rock is normal since they are algae eaters and all.
