Annoying Fish Behavior

Anyone else experience this?
My Blue Hippo Tang, who is about 6 inches long, has started picking up my hermit crabs by the shell and carrying them around the tank. After a few minutes of carrying them around he throws them against the aquarium glass or on the rocks. So far he hasn't killed any of them, but I am sure it it only a matter of time.

Sounds like a future act at Sea World! Maybe he just has a playful nature...or a desire to taste the meat inside!!! I've heard of tangs doing the same sort of thing....:thinking:
