    i put my rock down first, add sand around them.. These lil'farts are digging all the way down to the glass....

    think i'm gonna drain the tank and pull them out - then fill it back up. they are just too annoying for me.

    we have a rock that we call the "saddle" because it's shaped like one.. but we had to put it ontop of the sand because it had alot of "dusters in training" .. that's the rock they kept moving.. now it's at the top of the tank.. with 5 dusters growing on it. ;)

    I have rocks on top of sand and train tracks behind my house, needless to say things have shifted a lot! Luckily there's not much rock in this tank and I can fix it still!

    Just get a fish trap and starve then for a couple days and put food in the trap. They will swim right in. Just caught me a Powder Blue like that.

    hahahah I'm sorry; I loved the video. That's why I love salt water. The fish have personalities! Looked like he/she was just creating a home. Don't fill it in and maybe he/she will stop kicking up sand once it gets the home the way he/she wants it. I had a domino once that tried to take an anemone from a clown.
