Hi I was wondering about my yellow tail damsel. I have searched and cant find anything on this. For some reason my yellow tail is digging he has made himself 2 homes going under my rock "just liky a goby would" do they usually burrow? Also he is eating brown diatom algea I have not found anything on this either I new you could supplement with frozen or live food but not algea "or brown diatom at least" "mabey seaweed but havent found anything on it" Is this normal or do I just have a strange yellow tail?

Kinda wierd fish that shouldnt burrow do. Im not talking just a small hole Im talking a hole going all the way across my live rock rock and another going way under it.

I found that last night about the algea "my rock is white since it isnt alive yet" and there are little white spots all over it where he takes chuncks out of it lol.
