Allen & Munday
Distribution:
Western Central Pacific: Indonesia, Papua New Guinea, and the Indo-Australian Archipelago.
Inhabits rubble bottoms in lagoons and sheltered coastal reefs.
Typically hovers a short distance above the bottom, apparently to feed on zooplankton.
synonym:
Asterropteryx striatus Allen & Munday, 1995
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!
