stocking of my 20long

Blue leg hermits and emeerald crabs will be fine with zoas but I understand the desire to avoid crabs :).

Add the jawfish second to last. Let the gobies settle in. I would not recommend any other jawfish beside the yellow head or bluespot.
 
are the blue spot common/light on the wallet
 
my LFS wants 59 for the randall, and 40 for the blue spot
 
Blue Spot price isn't to bad I think they run about $35 at my LFS, the Randall seems rather high IIRC last time I was at my shop they were selling randal/pistol pairs for like $65.
 
About right. The randalls are about $10 less here. Blue spots used to be $100+ so they have come down. When buying a pearly (yellow head) or blue spot, let them sit at the LFS for a while to make sure they are eating well and healthy. Internal parasites are not uncommon in these fish. Also, their collection is sometimes questionable. Due to their burrowing nature, cyanide is reportedly used to drive them out of their dens. Hoefully this practice has been phased out but you never know.
 
Oh if its blue spot jawfish my price is off, I thought you meant goby. Haven't priced them lately last I recall they were like $120. Live Aquaria still has them listed at $129+
 
sorry guys on the blue spot i ment to say yellow head. they also want 40 for the yellow watchmen
 
Those prices are kind of high. Both sell for $20 to $25 around here.
 
man i wish i lived where you guys do, the only reason why i would pay so much more is because the place i go does 2 week QT on all fish, and only put up the healthy ones. so they charge more
