Well unfortunately the jawfish is looking pretty terrible tonight

The "sting" marks are quite irritated looking and he is gasping. He won't eat anymore either.

I don't know what else in the tank could possibly sting him.

Just seems too weird--find the jaw out of his cave (never comes out) with sting marks on his body, curled up in the corner of the tank, then find the crab in his cave, waving its anemones around...

that is strange, i have 2 in with my seahorses and you'd think they would be easy enough to pick on but they get along just fine, was planning on adding 2 more tomorrow but perhaps you could remove the crab to the sump/other tank/my tank *nudge nudge* and see if the situation gets better

This seems odd, I have a BS jawfish and at least 10 boxers in with him and never had any problems. Wrong place at the wrong time ? No other fish or such that could be stressing him out ? I had a lawnmower blenny in with him once and it turned aggressive after a couple of months together and had to take it out.
