Eviota marteynae Greenfield & Erdmann, 2020
Red star-eye dwarfgoby
Specimens were collected or observed across a depth range of 8–30 m and were found under large pieces of coral rubble long a gentle slope on an inner patch reef. These were never observed in the open, but only found under coral rubble and living within the interstices of the reef. Look to fishbase for more Infos.

Greenfield, D.W. and M.V. Erdmann, 2020. Eviota marteynae, a new dwarfgoby from the Maldive Islands (Teleostei: Gobiidae). J. Ocean Sci. Found. 35:94-101. (Ref. 122934)
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!
