most fish will go after it if they see it, but they will soon notice it is not food and let it go. If you watch closely he/she probably hits it, then spits it out and lets it go realizing that it is not food.

My vlamingi tang does this from time to time. Nothing to be alarmed about.

I've read that tangs will nibble at coral if they get hungry enough (haven't experienced that one myself tho), so maybe it's just hungry? Or, maybe there's something that's lacking in it's diet that is being excreted in the chromis' detritus. If it's a younger fish, they need more meaty food than adults; adult tangs will live almost entirely off of algae. Just a thought...
