Punyit Dwarfgoby Tornabene, Valdez & Erdmann, 2016
Very special thanks for the photos of this beautyful Eviota punyit to Dr. Mark V. Erdmann.
From Reefbuilders:
Eviota punyit is the latest new species of dwarf goby to join the ever expanding roster of Eviota species. Unlike so many other species which are identified primarily based on their appearance and color pattern, Eviota punyit was confirmed primarily through genetic analysis of closely related species.
Eviota punyit is found from the Red Sea, Indian Ocean and Indonesia.
The newly described Eviota punyit was recognized as distinct from the very similar looking Eviota sebreei. Eviota punyit and E. sebreei form what s known as a geminate species pair, or two species from a common ancestor displaying a very similar color and pattern.
Classification: Biota > Animalia (Kingdom) > Chordata (Phylum) > Vertebrata (Subphylum) > Gnathostomata (Superclass) > Pisces (Superclass) > Actinopterygii (Class) > Perciformes (Order) > Gobiidae (Family) > Gobiinae (Subfamily) > Eviota
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!
