I have a beautiful Black Cap basslet. He/She looks healthy is a vibrant purple and acts relatively..normal. Until this evening sitting here watching TV and the tank when I happened to catch him..spitting out sand.

He goes behind one rock a few second later he comes out and POOF out comes a mouthful of sand. I made my husband stop watching the movie to watch the fish and verify that he was doing this!

So what/why is it doing???

ps we only have one basslet
 
My Bicolor Blenny does this too, its incredibly cute. He does it to make a little home for himself to hide in and sleep in. My avatar is a photo of him sticking his head out of the home he dug. I would assume that is what your basslet is doing also.
