The Blue Hippo Tang is a vibrant addition to my 100-gallon reef tank. It’s active and peaceful, and the color contrast is striking. I’ve had it for three months and it’s thriving. Feeding is straightforward with a mix of algae wafers and frozen foods.

Great color and movement. It’s not aggressive and doesn’t stress other fish. I’m happy with the size at 4.25 inches. Needs a stable environment and regular water changes, but overall a satisfying choice for intermediate reef keepers.
