Blue Dot Jawfish.

The biggest suggestion, cover the overflow box. I found mine, twice, in the sump.

Everything will be fine once he settles down. I had two yellowheads that remained nocturnal for 4 weeks before getting settled in

Jawfish are not the best reef fish honestly. I have one myself and had to move most of the corals in that tank to another. They constantly move sand around, spitting it out as you noticed.

That being said, they have great personalities and are fun to watch!

I got my Blue Dot Jawfish out of my tank after 2 hours last night of trying to get him out of his burrow. My tank was not a happy place last night.

I got home today he moved to a new spot and with the help of my good ole Mom, we managed to get him out of his burrow into the open and I netted him as he jumped and splashed around wildly.

Capturing this darn fish literally felt like I hit the lotto.

On a side note, one of my Snow Onyx Clowns bit my mom between her fingers and drew blood. So much for Nemo the little sweet innocent clown fish.....

What's the temperature in your tank?
Blue spots like lower temperatures in the 60sF.They have a shortned lifespan at higher temperatures much like catalina gobies.

Not as bad as catalina gobies, but since BSJ are acquired in the Sea of Cortez, they are really oriented towards cooler temperatures.
