So i have a blue tang that is ill right now and in quarantine. However i wanted to discuss her behavior from when she was healthy. Ocassionally she would slap they glass very rapidly with her tail. It honestly made a cool noise. Also she likes to smack/bite the heater so it bumps the glass. She also broke a glass thermometer by beating it into the glass. Anyone had a tang do this? She doesn't get aggressive just likes to hit equipment.

She sees her reflection in the glass and thinks it's another fish so she tries to attack it. Tangs will do the whipping of the tail with their scalpel at the base of the tail where the tail meets the body but the heater thing is on a whole another level

I have a feeling my father has seen the heater smacking and fed them after. Hes probably got it trained to smack it when it wants food haha.
