    Hey guys my blue spotted jawfish has been making a mess lately while digging but the main problem is he takes mouthfuls of sand and spits it and its getting all over my maxima clam. I don't want it kill the clam because I can't tend to it all day to blow the sand out, so I'm stuck between a rock and a hard place. Should I move the clam, remove the fish, or what? What's your opinion

    It is a dry heat, yeah right !
    Start with moving the clam.

    Clams are awesome, but a healthy BSJF beats a clam any day IMO.

    My diamond goby dusts my clams all day. They are doing ok with the occasional fix from me. Not saying you should expect the same bc my dusting is prob not the same as your dusting but yea. If you're uneasy about it, you should prob try moving the clam. :)

    I will definatly will try moving it first hopefully that will fix the problem. With my luck where I move it, the bsjf will start a hole there
