Yip, this is what it is but I think I only paid like $10 for mine.  Make sure it says it is 3/8" or less.  I have some if you want to come get it.  I'm available until about noon tomorrow.  I'm in WVC.

Wahoo, I get to join the bluespot club (again) too!  Hopefully this one will last much much longer than the last one!

Jon, did you get yours from the Aquarium too? I think I jinxed myself. This morning the jawfish was hiding behind the rocks lining the back wall of the tank. Not sitting in a burrow or working on building one. I turned the lights off early and now he is wandering around the tank and looking stressed out.

Breaks my heart.

I'm pretty sure the onslaught of nassarius means otherwise. Cry

What day did you get yours? How is it doing so far?

I just got mine tonight.  He has already made a big burrow, we'll see if he moves during the night.  He doesn't seem too jumpy.  It's too bad these guys are so dang fragile.

Acrid - I'm sorry for your loss!
 
Anyone else who has one, here are some tips:
 
Keep your temp low (78 or lower but stable)
Lower your salinity (1.021 or less if you can) 
Add vitamins (selcon, vitachem, and/or zoe) to all food (fresh garlic is good too) 
Provide rubble and shells for building
Don't fuss over them
 
Doing this will help them acclimate easier and if they have to fight off a disease they are more likely to be able to do it.   The first 4-6 weeks are the toughest to get through.
