Hippo Tang sleeping help

Hello, I have a few concerns about my new hippo tang. It is her second night in my tank, 1st day and night she seemed very happy swimming and sleeping with my two clowns. She ate very well today (fed her cycopleeze and H20 life spirnula in garlic) and seems very happy. Tonight, however, she is sleeping isolated in the top right corner of my tank. This is making me nervous, as last night she slept happily side by side my clowns. Is it normal for them to sleep by themselves at the top of the tank?

It took my hippo a couple nights to find her spot. She actually ended up picking the upper right corner of the tank, she slides right in and curls up between the powerhead and the glass-so don't be worried yet, be worried when you wake up and can't find her, lol:)

as long as its swimming when the light is on, there isnt anything to worry about. my hippo likes to sleep inside the birdnest coral.

My hippo slithers into a tiny thin crevice in the rock....I have no clue how it fits....LOL...One time I thought it was stuck...but then realized it was hiding...
