Long spine urchin eating coral

I've had a long spine urchin for a few months now and it's grown very big. I've noticed the urchin on top of some corals and the corals would disappeared. I thought maybe it was eating them, first my glove polyps, then my acan. I researched and kept coming up with them being reef safe.

Well today I caught him for sure. He was on my candy cane coral so I pushed him off with my feeding syringe and sure enough the polyp it was on was eaten

First photo was two days ago, next photo was right after I got him off

Is there algae in the tank for him to eat?  Maybe he has eaten all of the kinds of algae he likes?

He cleaned my algae up good. I just get brown slim looking algae on the glass. I feed seaweed for him and the tang. I also take some algae from the fug to feed it.

I agree though, I think he may have not had enough to eat
