After over 12 years, my beloved Hippo tang has died. I got him when he was ~2" at a Petco (before I knew he shouldn't be a 55). He moved with me from my condo to my house and made a second move from my crushed coral/dead coral head tank into my current DSB/live rock reef. The stress from that switch is what gave his name, but he fought it off and within 3 months he never had a recurrence of the Ich, but the name stuck. He was so much happier in the reef tank, always out playing around and begging for food. RIP buddy.

bummer man! Hippos are beautiful fish. Any ideas yet on a replacement?

I'm very tempted to get a flame angel, but if I get a nipper, I'm in trouble. The tank looks so empty with out him there.
