Info
(Rendahl, 1921)
The Halfbarred Wrasse is a really splendidly colored wrasse of the deeper water zones, because it occurs up to a water depth of about 250 meters.
Pseudolabrus semifasciatus is an endemic known only from the waters of Easter Island, which belongs to Chile.
Easter Island, geographically classified as part of Polynesia, is an isolated island in the southeast Pacific Ocean.
Pseudolabrus semifasciatus is found here in the rocky environment of the island, otherwise very little is known about this wrasse species.
Endemic species often get into great danger by fishing pressure, because the animals do not know any alternative habitats.
Another very nice photo of the wrasse can be seen in Flickr:

Pseudolabrus semifasciatus does not come into the German specialized trade.
Visually very similar species: Pseudolabrus torotai (Russell & Randall, 1981)
Synonym:
Labrichthys semifasciatus Rendahl, 1921
Classification: Biota > Animalia (Kingdom) > Chordata (Phylum) > Vertebrata (Subphylum) > Gnathostomata (Superclass) > Pisces (Superclass) > Actinopterygii (Class) > Perciformes (Order) > Labroidei (Suborder) > Labridae (Family) > Pseudolabrus (Genus) > Pseudolabrus semifasciatus (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!
