Info
Norfolkia brachylepis inhabits coral or rock, often under ledges, on clear lagoon and seaward reefs
Inhabits shallow coral and rocky areas on clear lagoon and seaward reefs, often sheltering in crevices and under ledges..
The specific name "brachylepis" is from the Greek "brachy" (= short), and "lepis" (= scale).
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!
