Info
Coris batuensis (Bleeker, 1856)
The Batu Coris inhabits sandy areas of coral reefs and protected lagoons. Feeding on crabs and gastropods.
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!
