Bet they make for an interesting aquarium - that being said, while the blue spot is a great fish, unless you run your tank colder than a typical reef it will likely share a similar fate as those in most other tanks.........as they come from colder waters they are very susceptible to skin infections which often prove fatal. A fish best left in the ocean IME, not unlike some anthias species. Good luck with him! cheers.

Of course he darted to the other side right into the yashas burrow, &$@?! First surprise I got is the bluespot seems to be using the live rock as his burrow, he has dug out the sand underneath it but I see him poking out of various holes in the rock. Second surprise, after not seeing the yasha for a couple days I assumed he was evicted by the larger fish and was pouting and making a new burrow. Well I see him today poke his head right out of his normal burrow with his little buddy in tow. They seem to be sharing the burrow, I thought that was very strange but I could be wrong.
