My favorite behavior of theirs is watching them cover up their burrows for the night and open up again in the morning.

Mine has a small opening the his burrow and every night when he goes inside, he covers the opening with an old hermit shell. In the morning he pushes it back out. Its really cool. The first time I saw it though, I thought his burrow had collapsed! I moved the hermit shell and he freaked out!
I have had so many large fish over the years but not many have had the personality and character that this jawfish has. I can watch him for hours!
I'm really enjoying the small fish.
