Today my hippo tang picked up a snail shell and brought it to the top of the tank and spit It towards me. A few moments later she did it again!

I have noticed that all of these snails have gone missing in the past few weeks.

I wonder if the tang is just playing with the shells, or ate them all and is asking me for more? lol

This title reminds me of my trigger fish. He lifts my feed doors up by pecking at them. Never seen a fish stick their head out of the water like that hahaha he’s a nut for sure.

My hippo tang is such a pain. He is constantly picking things up and moving them. Especially, the frags. I have a frag rack that I can’t use anymore because he takes every plug out and drops them all over the tank. Now I have immediately glue them down and hope I don’t have to move

My blue tang decided that it likes to play with any new frags I put in the tank and drop it into my torch colonies! I’ve lost many a frags from this!
