The Blue Hippo Tang is a stunning addition to my 80-gallon reef tank. Its bright cobalt body and yellow tail stand out beautifully. It’s peaceful and active, and has not shown any aggression toward other fish. Very happy with the purchase.

This tang is a true centerpiece. The coloration is vivid and it adds a lot of movement to the tank. I’ve had it for three months and it’s still active and healthy. Great choice for a reef setup.
