Blue Spotted Jawfish in reef OK?

[bigsink]

Anybody have any experience here? Will it burrow in sand too much and undermine rocks? Will it spit sand all over corals on the sand bed?

Yes, they are safe...yes they tend to cover corals, and yes the fish can cause a rock slide...

Yes, definitely have secure rocks.How deep is your sand?

 

[Josh]

I heard they have a tendency to jump.

Well, I do not want this fish if it will make rock unstable and cover corals with sand. They are very cool though. Josh, I have a mesh cover by KathyC, no fish can get through that!

the sand bed must be 3 inches deep, the live rock must be on the bottom of the tank and not on the sand bed, and the tank top must be completely covered. They will get out through the smallest crack or opening! trust me, i lose a couple of jaw fish that way!
