I had a BSJ quite a while ago. It lived for about 4months until it got sick and died.
Here we are a yaer and some later and decided to try again. I have a standard 125g with live rock and aragonite select sand. It's only been a few days.
Day one. I removed a bunch of sand and sucked some out from underneath a large rock. I introduced the BSJ and he went right for the hole. I took a piece of rubble about the siz of my fist and the piece were from large marbles to maybe 3mm. He went to building his burrow and then the lights went out and last i saw he was doing his thing. I woke up the next day and his hole was all covered up. About 4 hours after the lights came on he was still in there. Thinking he was dead I dug it out and found him a tucked in under the rock. I left be and he constructed a new entrance. This morning the same thing. The lights have been on for a good 4 hours and he is still in there.
Is this normal behavior? I have a variety of small fish in the tank. A pair of percs. 4 chromis. Six line. Purple firefish. Orange spot watchman goby. Yellow tail damsel.
