Info

Tomiyamichthys praealta is a reef-associated partner shrimp goby that is found on white, rubble-free sand, where the benthic fish lives symbiotically with the shrimps Alpheus ochrostriatus
and Alpheus randalli.

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!
