Hi everyone!
I currently have a blue spotted jaw fish, and he is doing quite a bit of redecorating in my tank. All my corals are very well glued down and secure, and I can see him manage to rip it right off the rock every time - (specifically my branching SPS varieties). With the sand bed, I have some hammers and various LPS and he pulls those right out of the sand too (not even ones by his burrow). He brings those corals and lines them around the burrow or scatters them around the tank. I tried putting shells and such in there for him to use, but he doesn’t touch them- just the coral. I’ve paid quite a bit for those high end corals, and it’s such a shame to see them getting stressed and possibly die off. I can’t keep putting my hand in there to fix it every 2 hours. I DEFINITELY don’t want to get rid of my jaw fish (Jefferson), i’m just stuck with what to do. (He’s very healthy and active-no diseases)
Sorry for the long message, haha.
Thanks!
