Info
(Agassiz, 1831)
Distribution
Southwest Atlantic: French Guiana to the State of São Paulo, Bazil.
Biology
Usually observed solitary; juveniles relatively common in shallow waters (3 - 20 meters) while adults are in deeper waters (30 - 60 meters)
Synonymised taxa:
Julis dimidiatus Agassiz, 1831
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!
