Title: Tang stuck?
Post by: Parisiot on November 02, 2013, 09:14:02 PM
Added a blue hippo tang to my tank tonight. It may have already gotten stuck in a rock..
I know they like to sleep in rocks so I'm hoping tomorrow she will be out.

Hard to see in a small hole in the middle.

Hiding since is a new environment for him. Hope he is ok.

Lil guys tiny. About 1.5-2". He's still in there. Maybe in the afternoon if he's still in there I'll take more drastic measures.

Update. He's out.
Fight the urge to "rescue" a tang that's "stuck".

Mine is 7", sleeps inside a hollow rock structure every night and goes in whenever he's frightened. He is a big scaredy cat!
