Hansen, 1986
It is a common species along the reef front and external reef. It lives in small groups, never leaving a small territory and seldom hiding into crevices. Therefore it is easily observed by those taking notice of the small creatures.
Synonyms:
Helcogramma striatum Hansen, 1986
Helicogramma striata (Hansen, 1986)
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!
