Rudie Hermann Kuiter, Aquatic Photographics, Australien
Info
(Macleay, 1878)
Special thanks for the foto to Rudie Kuiter, the famous biologist and scientist from Australia!
Distribution:
Eastern Indian Ocean: Western and South Australia.
Biology:
Found in intertidal and subtidal areas on exposed rocks covered with algae.
Synonymised taxa:
Tripterygium marmoratum Macleay, 1878
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!
