Yellow clown Golby nipping corals

[TheAsian0328]

So I have a clown Golby that has taken an interest in some of my corals as food. Is this normal or any suggestions to keep it from eating them?

Are you sure is eating corals?
My tailspot blenny pick up sps corals sometime, but is taking something from the corals and not the corals itself (slime, tiny algaes)

Is it a pair because they like to lay eggs on the underside of sps.

^This. They will kill a small area to lay their eggs.

Every clown goby I've tried over the years and countless ones I've heard of pick at coral. They seem to really like eating clams as well. I'm not sure why they are still sold as reef safe.

Guess it time to take him back to the store. Thank you everyone for the advice.
