Sold Blue Hippo / Regal Tang

[eliotgorman]

Need to rehome one of our favorite fish, our Blue Hippo/Regal Tang. Got him when he was about size of a quarter over a year ago, now 3-4”. Forewarned he’s been nipping at and eating some small Zoa frags. Looking for $100/bro, located in Dunstable MA.

He's been munching on zoanthids that's surprising

I know, first time I’ve seen or heard of it. Just my luck…

Sorry to hear that such a shame to get rid of such a nice fish

It is common that some Dory eats zoas, some will even eat certain LPS.
I have a big Dory that brought to me due to she eats zoas. She is living in a SPS only tank for years.

Really I had no idea that they could eat zoas

I had one that would munch zoas and fleshy brain corals like trachys/welso’s

I wish I could keep her in my tank but my angel would have a field day with her

Fwiw this one only seems to target red Zoas or Zoas containing some red. Other than that he has been a model citizen…

I commute into Boston (North Station/Govt Center) couple times a week, if meeting up is an option for anyone.
