Jawfish QT

[Bnortz]

I'm planning on getting a yellowhead jawfish here soon to eventually go in to my 60 gallon reef. I've got a thick sandbed of about 4 inches of reef flakes in there. Wondering how I should go about QTing this fish considering its need for a sand bed. I have a 20 gallon high set up now that I would use, unless it's advised not to QT them. Let me know your experiences and of course advice!

Thanks

A couple pieces of live rock formed to make a cave like structure works. I qt'd a pair of them once using a small saucer leaning against a rock and they stayed under there. As long as they can conceal themselves and there are no other fish in the QT to pester them, they should be fine.

I've QT'd all five jaws that I've owned without issue. My two blue spots are in qt now in fact. My qt has a sandbed and live rock for the fish. I've found this to be best for all of my inhabitants but especially the jaws and wrasses. The one recommendation is to cover the tank as jaws will jump; particularly in the beginning if here are others in qt or if there is a lot of foot traffic in front of the tank.
