tang and blenny

I added a yellow tang to my reef a few weeks ago to eat up some of the macro I was tired of pruning and it did something i did not expect. It likes to follow my lawnmower blenny all around the tank and the two graze together. The tang does give him an occasional nip, but the two otherwise seem to like each other. I looked in one of my books and their habitat did overlap, so is this normal? Has this coupling happened to anyone else? Thanks.
 
I have a yellow tang , regal tang, and a brown rabbit fish, that all school together during the day. They hardly separate. Not an answer to your question but I thought it was interesting anyway.
