Dr. Paddy Ryan, USA
Info
Hardy, 1987
Distribution:
Southwest Pacific: endemic to New Zealand.
Biology:
Occurs in low tide pools and subtidal areas. Prefers overhangs and holes containing sponges and bryozoans.
Juveniles are found in shallow waters, while adults are more abundant in deeper waters.
Feeds mainly on crustaceans and small gastropods.
Low vulnerability.
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!
