Hippo tang weird behavior
Got back from a weekend trip to find 4 big frags all over the sand and some on the rocks. I figured must be the power head blowing it off or the fishes knocking it down.
So I put back all the frags on the rack. Then after 1/2 hour 3 sps frags were either on the sand again and some in the rocks. These are bigger sps frags with plugs on. Annoyed, I put them on the rack again, then same thing happened after a few minutes when I turned my back. I finally saw the blue hippo tang pick up a large sps frag, put it on cleanly on a rock like nothing. The fish is about 8 y/o 6 inches long. I moved the frag rack under a power head instead on the front glass and so far it hassle happened again is this normal hippo tang behavior? |

Hippo tangs are idiosyncratic ..... and clumsy. Not unusual for them to do strange things.

Get a zen reef frag rack, no fishs or urchins will be able to mess with your frags.
