Default broken tips on SPS

I was just wondering how often people see broken tips on their SPS corals? I only have two SPS corals and occas I will see a tip broken off or bent over. I have some larger damsels (which I can't catch) that chase each other and I was wondering if they are damaging the corals. Is this common to see broken SPS? I know that corals fragmenting in nature is common, but from storms or larger fish. If this is not commonly seen, are my corals too soft or weak?
