I've been thinking about this more and more and I wonder how beneficial it would be to design a natural aquascape specifically for jawfish use.
Maybe for example, a rock formation using putty placed in the tank and then covered in substrate to allow it to have somewhere to go right off the bat and then build on it from there. I think, since I'm developing a new 95 gallon right now and want one of these finicky fish pretty bad that I'm going to try it and make a jawfish the first introduction to it. I'll do a note on it when I do the tank journal, but I'm going to start looking for some choice rocks to work with now. I would consider these jawfish my greatest challenge in reefing so far so it would be really sweet to keep one alive for a couple years....

I have two of them for over a year now. No problems what so ever. They originally made their homes about 12 inches apart. There was a constant battle until one moved to the other end of the tank. Now they don't see each other everything's fine. I would suggest a closed top tank. Every once in a while they like to break the surface. I have a canopy so they have never jumped, but i'm pretty sure if I didn't they would be dead a long time ago. Both of mine use empty shells to construct their burrows. They dig out the sand and place the shells to form tunnels so the sand doesn't fall back into the hole.
