Allen & Robertson, 1991
Very special thanks for the first two photos of Crocodilichthys gracilis to Dr. Gerry R. Allen and Dr. Ross Robertson, the have taken these photos at Mexico in a depthrange of 10 to 40 meters.
Crocodilichthys gracilis is endemic to the Mexican Pacific, and is found in the western and central eastern Gulf of California.
Lizard triplefin is a benthic, reef-associated species, that inhabits rocky shores and steep slopes.
Classification: Biota > Animalia (Kingdom) > Chordata (Phylum) > Vertebrata (Subphylum) > Gnathostomata (Superclass) > Pisces (Superclass) > Actinopteri (Class) > Perciformes (Order) > Blennioidei (Suborder) > Tripterygiidae (Family) > Tripterygiinae (Subfamily) > Crocodilichthys (Genus) > Crocodilichthys gracilis (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!
