Hippo Tang sleeping in the SPS. Is it common?

My Regal tang, AKA blue or hippo sleeps in the branches of a purple tri-color SPS. Although I don't find it strange, I hadn't seen it before. Is this a common occurance?

Yes its very common it makes them feel sucure when they wedge themselves in the branches of the SPS. But they will wedge themselves pretty much anywhere. Your tang must like that spot.

Beautiful Picture by the way.

Indeed, it's what they do in nature. Great picture.
