Scooter dragonet

Hi is it normal for my scooter dragonet to cover itself with sand and just have its head and top fin sticking out when it goes to sleep.

Yep, mine does the same thing.

Mine often does that. Not every night but 80% of the time probably he's just so adorable. Bu far my favorite fish I have

I saw one at my local reef store how difficult are they to are for?

 

[carey]

They can be difficult to get on prepared foods. They are dragonets like the mandarin, they eat pods usually.

Yeah that's what I read on liveaquaria just now. There just so kool looking lol.

 

[carey]

Yep, I got one by mistake. i lucked out though after about a month of trying he finally took to frozen food.

Do you think it is normal that every time my scooter goes on top of my goniopora that it closes up.

 

[carey]

Most corals will close up if something is on it. Unless its all the time I wouldnt worry bout it.

 

[Foskett96]

Yea It opens up about about 5mins after the fish has gone. It is open most f the time and only closes if it is eating or has been annoyed

Then you'll be fine.
