Reef Safe

The Pearly Jawfish, also known as the Yellowhead Jawfish, is a small, peaceful marine fish known for its bright yellow head and pearly white body. It is reef safe and thrives in aquariums with deep sandy substrates, where it creates burrows to hide and watch for food. This fish is an active and inquisitive digger, often popping in and out of its burrow. The Pearly Jawfish requires a stable, well-established aquarium with plenty of hiding spots and a peaceful environment, making it a fascinating addition for aquarists who appreciate natural behaviors and a calm, colorful species.
