    I have no idea, but when I go get mine tonite I will let you know. I have heard that they will eat anything that comes around their burrow. But I am not to positive:confused:

    If a jawfish like other gobies, my yellow watchman will eat just about anything that swirls by his little cave, big or small it doesn't matter. I feed with Rods Food and every fish, shrimp and coral I have go nuts for it. Its amazing stuff!
