I've never heard of a timid hippo tang.
If you are looking for a solid mild mannered fish, look into a blonde naso tang. LOVE THEM!

That's crazy I had mine for over 2 years in a 180glns and now its like 6"+ with no issues at all.Maybe I have a special one.Or maybe my tank is over loaded with caves from the rock work and corals.Thinking back another reason maybe the fish re-thank her stay and life as it came so close to death by trying to walk on my floor for a period of time as I brought it back to life it was almost dried out.My favorite and toughest fish.

I guess they are hit or miss. Not sure if I should keep her or not. She's fine with all the other fish. There's lots of places for her to hide in the rocks and lots of swimming room. Is there anything I can do to deal with the aggression?

mine was nice too. It goes to show that each fish has its own personality, no matter what people experience it is always a wild guess.
My niger trigger is a sweetheart, not touching anything in the tank and not agressive one bit.

Ya I'm not sure if its a "hippo tang thing" to be good or bad. Of all the fish I think hippo tangs have the most varied personality. I've had my hippo for years and he/she has never bothered any other fish or corals, even when I added a powder blue, yellow and purple tang after it. On the flip side I've heard the horror stories to of hippos going psychotic. I've also heard of hippo tangs developing a taste to LPS and clams. So ya, hit or miss I guess :-). But then the same could be said about every other fish in this hobby.

I have two blue hippos, they chase eachother around a little bit but nothing serious. They are very well behaved and don't bug any of my other tangs or any other fish. They are halarious to watch and all the funny spots they hide.

Mine is a bi-atch!!! I want mine out also, but can't catch it unless I kill it. And I can't bring myself to do the dirty deed.
