Info
Very special thanks for the first photo of Iniistius jacksonensis to Ian Bank, Gold Coast, Australia.
Iniistius jacksonensis inhabits sandy areas, diving into the sand when threatened.
Synonyms:
Novacula jacksonensis Ramsay, 1881
Xyrichtys jacksonensis (Ramsay, 1881)
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!
