Stephens, 1963
Very special thanks for the first two photos of Coralliozetus boehlkei to Dr. Ross Robertson, Australia.
He has taken the photos in Mexico, where the blenny occurs in oastal rocky areas, especially on boulders in a depth of 1 to 5 meters.
This species inhabits empty invertebrate shelters.
Classification: Biota > Animalia (Kingdom) > Chordata (Phylum) > Vertebrata (Subphylum) > Gnathostomata (Superclass) > Pisces (Superclass) > Actinopterygii (Class) > Perciformes (Order) > Chaenopsidae (Family) > Coralliozetus (Genus) > Coralliozetus boehlkei (Species)
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!
