Blue Hippo Tang

Scientific Name: Paracanthurus hepatus

The Blue Hippo (Regal) Tang is the famous "Dory" tang: royal blue with a black palette pattern and a yellow tail. Not WYSIWYG.

Why We're Obsessed

It's one of the most recognizable fish in the world, and kids and adults alike love seeing one in a tank.

Care: Reef safe. Prone to ich, so quarantine is important. Feed nori and seaweed plus frozen and pellet foods. Max size about 12". Minimum tank size: 125 gallons.
