The Pearly Yellowhead Jawfish has a yellow head and a pearly blue-white body. It builds a burrow in the sand and hovers just above it. These are local Florida fish.

Why We're Obsessed

Jawfish have so much personality, and watching them build and rebuild their burrows is endlessly entertaining. Local fish ship short distances and tend to be in great shape.

Care: Peaceful and reef safe. Needs a deep sand bed with rubble and a tight-fitting lid. Feed mysis, brine, and pellets. Max size about 4". Minimum tank size: 30 gallons.
