Hi:
you ned to do a search for jawfish in a DSB.

This question has been addressed a few time by Dr Ron, and if i recall correctly a jawfish will not only disrupt your sand bed, it will also deplete(eat) much of your sandbed critters.
Find the thread

Jawfish do not eat sandbed fauna.

no need to do any searches. what you'll find is a dr ron making a best guess on a species he is not familiar with.

Jawfish are platonic feeders, obtaining all of their food from the water column.

once an burrow is constructed, a jawfish will have no impact on the sandbed, negatively or positively.
