I love to leave my flow on when feeding flakes, pe mysis, and rods so the whole tank gets some but lately in the pursuit of the goodies, my good sized tangs, butterflies, and rabbit have been fragging off sps.

Anybody else have this?

Yep, especially my blue jaw trigger.

I've never seen this in my tank.

Any harm to the fish? Corals like birdsnest tend to have sharp points that could injure a fish if they hit it just right.

The occasional scratch or ding on my trigger, but those guys are pretty tough. No lasting issues.
