Info
Eviota maculibotella Greenfield & Winterbottom, 2016
Spotted dick dwarfgoby
Inhabits rocky and coral reefs.
Collected from fringing reefs, gullies with sand, encrusting corals, and algae and large bommie surrounded by coarse sand, coral rock, and algae, both habitats at 0-6 m depth
Main reference: Greenfield, D.W. and R. Winterbottom, 2016. Three new dwarfgobies from the western Pacific Ocean (Teleostei: Gobiidae: Eviota). J. Ocean Sci. Found. 22:28-40. (Ref. 109221)
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!
