Hippo Tang Vs. Zoas

[lynn.reef.nerd]

I have a yellow-belly Hippo Tang in my tank for almost a year now.

 

I bought a zoa from @gws3 called white walker at the last meeting. She absolutely hate those zoas. I would see her take the frag off the rack and throw them on the sand. This happened multiple times.

 

I ended up taking the frag out of the tank but I think she is now going for my other zoas.

 

Is this normal?

thats interesting. i too had a yellow belly hippo in my frag tank that would grab frags (all kind of coral frags) and throw them around. sold it to a friend and did the same thing to his frags (sps frags). so now he's in my nem tank with no frags

I have a very large hippo in one of my tanks that moves things around all the time.

Crazy fish. I've had clown fish before that liked to rearrange the tank.

Hippos have been known to eat zoanthids and other random corals too so I would be very careful.
