Info

(McCulloch & Phillipps, 1923)

Distribution:
Southwest Pacific: mainland New Zealand.

Biology:
Prefers areas of broken rock, steep rock faces and overhangs in areas without large algae and a thick cover of crustose coralline algae.
Feeds on small crustaceans (e.g. amphipods and copepods).
Removes parasites from larger fish.
Males territorial during the breeding season; guards the eggs.

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!
