Rudie Hermann Kuiter, Aquatic Photographics, Australien
Info
(Kuiter, 1986)
Special thanks for the picture to the famous Rudie Hermann Kuiter from Australia.
Distribution:
Eastern Indian Ocean: So far known only from South Australia.
Biology:
Found in the intertidal zone and on vertical rock surfaces and jetty pylons.
Synonym:
Norfolkia cristata Kuiter, 1986
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!
