Pseudojuloides polackorum is described from the east coastof South Africa and from near Mombasa, Kenya, and from Madagaskar (Gerry R. Allen)
These fishes form groups of small fast-swimming wrasses, typically found on deeper slopes and in 50 habitats dominated by rubble rather than live coral.
The wrasse was named after Dennis Pollack and his wife, Sandy from www.fishwisepro.com.
Classification: Biota > Animalia (Kingdom) > Chordata (Phylum) > Vertebrata (Subphylum) > Gnathostomata (Superclass) > Pisces (Superclass) > Actinopteri (Class) > Perciformes (Order) > Labroidei (Suborder) > Labridae (Family) > Pseudojuloides (Genus) > Pseudojuloides polackorum (Species)
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!
