weirdest thing he is hanging around the bottom of the tank I kept seein out of the corner of my eye a small sand storm. Couldnt figure it out since he was only one around. Then I caught him in the act. he backs into a kind of hole in the sand and puts his but in there and wags his ass lol. kicks up all this sand. he has been doin it for the last hr or so. goin around a peice of tonga branch a few times then makes the hole bigger. I even filled it in and he does it again. Damn fish is kickin sand on frags lol. Any one see this before or know what he is doin?

Never heard of it before, but since clown fish are damsels and do this I would suspect that the behavior is similar between the two.

My GSM does it all the time and she is huge so she make a major mess out of everything.  She can bury a fist size brain coral in less than an hour. 

I drop a decent sized rock in her favorite holes to keep her from doing it.  Then I remove the rock in a few weeks and see if she forgot she likes digging in that spot.  Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.
