scratching hogfish

I purchased a spanish hogfish a few weeks ago. I have noticed for the last two weeks he likes to scratch himself from time to time 2 to 3 times a hour or so. All of the water parm are good. I test my water often. He will only scratch on one particular piece LR. (his scratching pad). He is very active and no signs of velvet, ick or any other parasite. He appears happy and healthy other than scratching from time to time.
Should this be anything to worry about. It is in a reef tank and no way of catching him. I would appreciate any suggestions.
thanks:p
