.... if you put your frag plugs on the sand.

So I have a 3-4" sandbed and a pair of yellow headed jawfish (from KP aquatics, highly recommended vendor). I got a tiny Rainbow Monti frag, and thought putting the plug on the the sand would be where I wanted to initially accumulate it to my DT. ETA: this was very close to the "door" to their den. Dumb location, in retrospect..........

Came home this PM and found the frag and plug were gone. After freaking out for a bit, I noticed that the jawfish did a lot of remodeling today (much more than usual, but they do that sometimes), and their den is totally new, at least from the outside.

As usual, they threw in all kinds of rubble. BUT, I saw the bottom tip of the frag plug amidst their rubble.

Fortunately the Monti looks just fine.............. :D :D :D

And they will try to move a lot of things. Or, if they can't move it, they might build on top of it. ;)
