Apparently not ;)

Some of the acantharus tangs just like to swim a lot. Most of my buddies powders are like that - they're just party animals!

The only tang that I have had or currently have that seems to sleep is my blue hippo tang. Quite the regular at lites out, finds the same place to wedge between rocks and goes to "sleep".

Glad I found this thread before I got my first Acanthurus and freaked out because it wouldn't sleep. Do yours swim in the open or are they more like angels that kind of pace around in the back of the rockwork?
