Info

The photo of the goby was taken in 1975, since that time there seem to have been no new photos or reports of findings.
Furthermore, no water depth distribution data are known, so that information about the water temperature must remain open even in our encyclopedia.
Since the first description of the goby is not documented, the symbiotic crab partner is also unknown.

Whether the goby is possibly already extinct or not is not known, we have only included the species in the marine encyclopedia for completeness.

Synonyms:
Amblycentrus magnusi (Klausewitz, 1968)
Biat magnusi Klausewitz, 1968

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!
