Is that thing color enhanced or is he really that pretty?? I've never seen one so blue. I love your Saturday mornin' shots NM!! I'm with FLATZBOY, my tank is also to small, but if I ever upgrade, I'm gettin' all of your feeding regimes! :yes:

I confess...I often get their names confused!!! But...they are collectively named "Frank" and "Jessie"...after the infamous James brothers. Tomorrow they may switch...again!!! But today thats my story and I'm stickin' to it....LMAO
Not only do I have the James Brothers(with the rotating names...I also have a pair of ORA raised clowns...ying&yang...they trade names too! Plus I have "toto" the flame angel...Zappa the kole tang...."bbbbbbennnnnnnnny the bi-color bbbbbbblenny..."leckter" the lamwnmower blenny...and a host of un-named shrimp/snails/crabs....so are ya'all makin' fun of my choice of names...or just makin' fun of my lack of vivid short term memory?!!?

Very nice NM!!
How big was he when you got him? and how big is he now? He really does have a beautiful coloration, and looks very healthy. I have one Hippo in my 92 reef ( only tang inside) and i am worried that it will soon get too big. My tang is now only 2'' though. About how long until it will reach to the point that i should give him away?
Thanks.
