'6l had been eating stomtopods . So we took our Email enclosure — which 
has no bottom in it — found a nice big Jaw-fish (opistogmthus nmilosus) 
and set it down over him. He backed down into his burzw, and his forehead 
turned white — he was worried about this sort of business. But I gave 
him a few minnow scraps and firom then on we were i>als. He remained with 
his head out of the hole unless we were actually about to touch him. 
Ked and Chris hod a good supply of etonatopods for us in a wire cage. 
We placed a can over the Jawfish so that he couldn't see what was going

to the Jawfish, The Jawfish lunged at it, hut overshot, and the stoimtopod 
went into the Jawfish burrow. 
The Jawfish had not seen where the Etomatopod went, but when he 
backed down into his hole he realized that something was wrong — his tail
