Jawfish

[Zactheninja]

Bought a little blue jaw fish today from my lfs, is there anything special I need to know?
It said on the app I have on my iPod that it was reef safe, says small, and was easy.
BIG QUESTION:why are they called Jawfish?

Make sure you have a lid on the tank, they jump a lot.

Yeah those blue dots get way to expensive.
I saw this guy and was amazed.

I know the edges of the tank are dirty. But he made alittle burrow in the front corner of the tank, got sand on some coral but I moved everything.
