Prof. Dr. Kendall Clements, Neuseeland
Info
Hardy, 1987
Special thanks for the fotos to Kendall Clements, University of Auckland, New Zealand!
Distribution:
Southwest Pacific: endemic to New Zealand.
Biology:
Inhabits rock pools and in surge zones, especially in exposed areas.
Usually on steep slopes or sides of boulders encrusted with invertebrates and algae.
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!
