Very special thanks for the first photo of Emblemaria piratica to Dr. Gerry R. Allen, he has taken this picture of a male Sailfin signal blenny at Panama, Eastern Pacific.
Sailfin signal blenny is endemic to the Eastern Pacific, and is found from from Mazatlan, Mexico to southern Panama.
This blenny is a demersal species and inhabits empty mollusc shells on sand-rubble substrate in a depthrange of 5 to 30 meters.
Classification: Biota > Animalia (Kingdom) > Chordata (Phylum) > Vertebrata (Subphylum) > Gnathostomata (Superclass) > Pisces (Superclass) > Actinopteri (Class) > Perciformes (Order) > Blennioidei (Suborder) > Chaenopsidae (Family) > Emblemaria (Genus) > Emblemaria piratica (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!
