Ive had my blue hippo for about a week. Everything was ok until i noticed today a few white lines, no spots, on both of his sides. She eats without problems and i havent noticed any scratching on rock or anything like that. I cant get a good pic cuz shes small and fast. I have noticed that my 2 perc clowns have gotten a little aggresive toward her when she nears their spot. She follows them around everywhere. The clowns kinda nip at her sides. Could this be stress? I dont think its ich or hlle. Ive looked thru countless pics of sick hippos and nothing resembles what i see on her. Lines run vertical right in the middle of her body.

I can't even guess what th white lines could be w/o a pic. Tangs, and many fish, can show all kinds of color changes during acclimation. Don't discount HLLE; it takes countless forms and patterns, but usually disappears with time, good water, and good diet.
The clowns are acting perfectly normal for any pair of bonded clownfish . They are extremely territorial and will make sure all new fish know where their territory is. Depending on the tank size, they could claim the entire tank as theirs. With milder clowns, like your percs, most fish come to terms with them.

Just a best guess, I really don't think this is more than typical acclimation stuff.
