my weird blue hippo tang

[ilovesharks]

is it normal tang behavior for them to play dead in the morning he looks dead and when i get home he is perfectly fine

 

[nereef]

i'ts normal behavior for them to wedge themselves in a rock and lie there.

The hippo is the master of playing dead. They will regularly dart into the rockwork to hide if any disturbance is in the tank. Mine, which I have had for almost 2 years will lay flat under a rock if I am cleaning the glass. Nothing to worry about, just their nature.

Ain't that the truth.Thought mine died before I was 1/2 way home.Had a tough time getting him out of the bucket I was acclimating him in.
