Acanthurus tang behaviour

Hey guys iv had this tang since a year now, and this behaviour of gulping and throwing air bubbles has been since the time i got it. Is this a bad thing or just a pass time or hunger?

Looks like its looking for food. Tangs eat a lot as they spend most of their time grazing on algae in nature. I suggest getting the veggie clip and attaching nori to it and let it in tanks for few hours. It will allow the tang to eat it throughout the day.

Yea, it keeps on pecking at the algae all the time.
