Dr. Robert A. Patzner, Österreich
Info
(Risso, 1810)
Distribution: Mediterranean Sea: including the Sea of Marmara
Biology: Adults are found in the littoral zone, in rocky areas and seagrass beds.
Act as "cleaners".
Feed on worms, small amphipods, copepods, bryozoans and hydrozoans.
Males keep watch over Cystoseria-covered spawning territory though no nesting is done.
Oviparous, distinct pairing during breeding.
Males build dish shaped nests and guard 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!
