Any success with breeding and raising Yellowhead Jawfish?

It has been done, I had a book on breeding saltwater fish it was one of the fish covered in it. I no longer have the book unfortunately but that book was 10 years old. So they were doing it at least that long ago.

I think Martin Moe raised some years back.

I'd really like to see someone raise yellow headed jawfish and the blue spotted jawfish.
