I have 2 Hippo Tangs. One in my reef that I’ve had for 12+ years, and another in my FOWLR that I’ve had for 6 or 7 years.
They’re pretty fish, they’re active and if you get them healthy and QT everything, they’re pretty hardy. My reef Hippo took a liking to a Cynarina but hasn’t bothered it nor any other corals since I moved the Cynarina to another part of the tank.
My LFS gets baby Hippos on a regular basis, and I see quite a few of them in the Divers Den, so I’d say they’re still a thing in the hobby.
