Blue Hippo Tang

[Danh Ngo]

I have a small blue hippo, he likes to lay side way on the liverock. He is having some white mark on his body. My damsel beat him up sometime. Could that be a wound or disease? He still swimming and taking food. Maybe Im a bit too worried?

Mine likes to hide sideways in the rock. I think he sleeps in there also

They often like to wedge themselves into rocks for sleeping. Often leaving odd looking marks on their body. That being said, it's always wise to keep an eye out for wounds and infection. Here's a link of Humblefish's treatment options for reference.
