Eviota pseudozebrina Tornabene, Greenfield & Erdmann, 2021
Definitively known only from Fiji, but specimens identified as E. zebrina are known from Wallis & Futuna and Tonga in Oceania; genetic analysis of specimens from these areas is required to verify if they in fact represent E. pseudozebrina.
Main reference: A review of the Eviota zebrina complex, with descriptions of four new species (Teleostei, Gobiidae)
https://zookeys.pensoft.net/article/66675/
Inhabits rocky and coral reefs.
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!
