Second time Blue hippo not reef safe...

[renato120]

Yep... just like the tittle says, my Hippo Tang is not reef safe.
A year ago I had one that started to nip on my acans.... So I sold Him.
6 Months ago I got another one the size of a quarter doing fine Until now.
I was Watching the fish tank, earlier, and saw Him taking chunks of my acans.... He is going strong on them.... all of them. I feed the tank heavy. I give them seaweed as well.
As soon as He starts to eat corals their temperament changes.... they turn into bullies... why is that??
I AM SOOOOOO ticked!
F @$& fish :mad::mad:

Once they get the taste of acans they never go back to be a reef safe fish! Lol. It looks tasty!

My lfs said warned me about hippos eating LPS, I was surprised when he told me.
