Bleeker, 1862
This species is named guentheri after Albert Günther, Ichthyologist at the British Museum (Natural History), London, at the time this species was described by Bleeker.
Pseudolabrus guentheri lives endemic to subtropical waters of eastern Australia, from the Whitsunday Islands, Queensland to Merimbula, New South Wales, and Swain Reefs, Queensland. The species is rare in the southern parts of its range.
Gunther's Wrasse inhabits moderately exposed coral and rocky reefs along the coast in depths of 0-20 metersv and is also found on weedy areas and amongst sponges and soft corals in estuaries and bays.

Jumping guard
A jumping guard prevents (nocturnal) fish from jumping out.
Wrasses, blennies, hawkfishs and gobies jump out of an unprotected tank in fright if their night rest is disturbed, unfortunately these jumpers are found dried up in the morning on carpets, glass edges or later behind the tank.

A small night light also helps, as it provides the fish with a means of orientation in the dark!
