A blue hippo tang isn't exactly a good starter fish. You should be more concerned about whether it'll still be alive in a month rather than what you can get for it. Those things are ick magnets if you don't have the proper tank or filtration.

Mine's been quarantined, FW dipped and everything still every once in a while I see white spots in him. Odd thing he is the only one affected.

I don't know if it's because they stress easily or not? But from my experience, hippos tend to sleep on their sides at the bottem in the live rocks where all the detritus are settled.
