Mimic Dwarfgoby Greenfield, D.W., Tornabene, L. & Erdmann, M.V. (2017)
A new species of dwarfgoby, Eviota imitata n. sp., is described from Raja Ampat, West Papua, Indonesia, based on the holotype and 8 paratypes
The new species is currently known only from Raja Ampat, Indonesia. The species was observed and collected from a current-swept rubble field ranging from 8–12 m deep. Individuals were typically perched on small 5–10 cm long pieces of coralline-algae-encrusted coral rubble, and would quickly retreat under the rubble when approached.

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!
