My hippo has a hiding spot in the rocks- when startled he races to this spot and slides sideways into this hole like a runner sliding into third base!
I made the mistake of putting some zoas near his hole. He pecked at them and would have torn them apart if I left them there. He managed to peck at them enough that it caused a "landslide" so I had to move them.
That being said, I've never actually seen him go after corals that weren't threatening to him.
