Bring home one of the most iconic and beloved fish in the saltwater hobby! Currently sized at a perfect, adorable 1 to 2 inches, these small Blue Hippo Tangs feature the striking, vibrant royal blue bodies, bold black palette markings, and bright yellow tails that make this species a worldwide favorite.
100% Reef Safe The Blue Hippo Tang is highly sought after for mixed reef displays because it is completely reef-safe. They will peacefully coexist with your corals, anemones, and delicate invertebrates. As active swimmers and natural grazers, they will spend their days darting through your rockwork and occasionally picking at nuisance algae, making them both a beautiful and beneficial addition to your reef ecosystem. The Joy of Growing Purchasing a Hippo Tang at this 1-2″ juvenile size is an incredibly rewarding experience, allowing you to easily acclimate them to your tank and watch them grow over the years. Because they are active swimmers and fast growers, they will eventually require a larger aquarium (125+ gallons) as they mature into their impressive adult size.
To keep their colors vibrant and their immune systems strong, feed these juveniles a varied diet rich in marine algae, spirulina, and high-quality meaty foods like mysis shrimp.
