Fish over eating

Currently I have a problem with my sailfin tang. He eats way too much. 

Whenever I feed the fishes, he is the only one who gobbles everything continuously. I am not worried that the other fishes dont get enough but I am afraid that he over eats. 

He is the fattest fish and his body width is twice that of his tail thickness. 

He is still healthy and swimming around. However I know over eating is bad. Is there a way to curb his eating?

Also I just got a foureyed butterfly fish yesterday. I understand that it is almost impossible to keep due to its sensitivity. Any tips on that as well?

Thanks Ken Yee.

Yeah he is the biggest in my tank now. He is literally almost half size bigger than my yellow tang which was the same size when i bought them together.
