What kind of fish is this...

[joshr]

Ill try to find a picture but what kind of fish is the one that like makes a base type thing with rocks or shells and like pops its head out(Sorry for the poor description)
And Would it be ok for me to watch my friends baby yellow tang for a while in my 24gallon tank??

Jawfish?
I probably would not watch a friends fish in my tank.

Can't you go over to your friend's house and watch his fish? (Assuming he's going on vacation...)
Sounds like a jawfish.

 

[regina13]

I'm going to vote jawfish.

 

[hobrien]

Either a Jawfish or a Engineer Goby

I'd have to agree, it's prob. a jawfish.

We need a pic to identify.

Pic would be good, but I'm going to go in a different direction and say "Jawfish".
The only way I would babysit someone elses fish at my house would be in a QT.

I wouldn't put someone elses fish in my tank. Look after him in his own tank. How is everyone saying a jawfish based on

Well now that I look back at the description, it prob. isn't a jawfish because they use the sand bed to make their home, but they sometimes do use a shell or rock to cover the entrance. So I don't know...

My Yellowhead Sleeper Goby does that. He's now about five inches long. He collects shells, rock, my frags, anything he can get his mouth on. Sometimes it's funny, sometimes it's very frustrating.
