When you say "good", what do you mean? Where do your water parameters sit other than your nitrates?
What are you feeding this fish?
What size is your tank?
What is in the tank with him?

A hippo tang in a 55, even when 2", is a lot like a race horse kept in a small stall. He has no room to swim. These are open water fish. You have a pair of clowns which are probably defending a territory, an angel and a firefsh. I am sorry, but that hippo will not live comfortably in that tank. Please return him. He is already showing the effects of an unsuitible environment. You are at max with the clowns, firefish and the angel, maybe one more small fish. How much LR do you have? How old is it? The diet should consist of frozen formula foods, for the rest of your fish as well. That hippo is suffering, please take him back.

Hippo's do play dead when they are stressed, but not as you describe. Did you mix this water well before you did the change? Have you tested all parameters?
