Hippo Tang
I got a nice sized Hippo tang recently. I know they tend to be shy, and will hide in the rockwork/caves. But, this one is in his rock all day long. He really only comes out to eat. Tonight I saw him come out and swim up by my coral banded shrimp as if he were a cleaner shrimp. He did it three times (that I saw).
Should I be worried about him? Or, is he really just a little slow? Maybe it's a girl and I've foung the REAL Dory.
Also, is there any way to coax him out of the rock more? It's actually a really neat piece. It's pretty flat on the bottom, and has an arch built in so that it looks kind of like a basket. I have it turned upward, though, so that the flat part is to the back of the tank. This way, he just slides in and out. If we can post MPEGS here, I'll do it.
