Woke up this morning - JB is a gonner. Missing off of it's disc. And it was a nice red+green one. So on my way home to break the tank down until I find it, surely to tick off everything else that's in there. Wish me luck.
 
Take a powerhead and point it into the cracks and crevices to see if you can blow it out before you go breaking down the scape.

Thanks Brad, great idea but too much rock work, if anything I will blow it more in.
 
Yea I have that problem with jawbreakers.. They come unattached often and then I can never get them to reattach. Ive got 4 that are freefloating around my tank for like a full year now.
 
Nice! Glad you found him!:)

Thanks, me too. Thought it would be tougher, but found him under the first few rocks.

Quiet an expensive invert to just float around, no? I put mine into a small cup with rubble, hope it ill attach to one of the rubble pieces soon.
 
I tried many many times to attach them but they always just dettach on their own. I guess my tank is just the wrong environment for JBs.
