Info
Priolepis pallidicincta is a secretive, hidden dweller of crevices and caves, therefore it is not seen as often as other gobies.
Similarly, knowledge about this species is still scarce.
In 2013, scientific research found that bidirectional sex change in gobies Priolepis akihitoi Hoese and Larson, 2010, Priolepis cincta (Regan, 1908), Priolepis latifascima Winterbottom and Burridge, 1993, and Priolepis semidoliata (Valenciennes, 1837) was confirmed by breeding experiments.
In female-female pairs, the larger individual changed sex to the male, and in male-male pairs, the smaller one changed to the female
Priolepis pallidicincta is also a hermaphrodite.
Synonym: Priolepis pallidocincta Winterbottom & Burridge, 1993 ·
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!
