one of my first fish, seems to hang more with the Foxface but no problems with the Regal.

Bought small one from J&L.
Does good, did not eat any food for about 2 month, but my tank was fool of algae then and it was good enough for him.
Still prefurs grazing but will take small pellets, constantly engaging larger hippo tang and hippo is on him as well.

I've had mine for ~4 years through a couple of tanks. He survived two tank crashes, a number of ich infestations and a nasty bout of lateral line disease.
He can be a real jerk to any new additions to the tank but gets better after a couple days.
