New Blue Dot Jawfish

[srt8]

Added a blue dot jawfish today to my 75 gallon reef. Ive been wanting one of these for a while,I added some more aragonite to the front of my tank a couple weeks ago in hopes he stays in the front,I had to leave for work right after adding him, he immediately went to the back left corner of course where I can't see him, I hope he moves because I paid 99 dollars for him, I guess just wait and see,I now have a Yellow Tang,a black occi clown,a bangai cardinal ( that stays in the back unless I add food) I hope he gets more social,and the blue dot.I also have a coral shrimp,a arrow crab,emerald crab,brittle star,urchin and a bunch of hermits and snails.plus my corals. Any ideas on getting the cardinal to the front more? He is still very young and the jaw fish,do they move around ? Or can you just move stuff a little until he finally makes a home in front?

What temp do you keep this tank at? Blue spots live in waters from 68-76 degrees. Keep it cool for him, or else he will VERY LIKELY get BSJ disease and die.

Ok,Thank you for the info,my wife called and said he has been a busy fellow digging his hole and he has moved to a better viewing area. I might have to lower my temp a little,although I run it about 78 now,so it should not be too big an issue,unless my corals don't like it.
