Very special thanks for the first photo of Pseudocoris aequalis to the australien ichthyologist Dr. Fenton Walsh, who took the photo in the Coaral Sea (Australia) where the fish lives endemic in a depth of 8 to 15 meters.
Pseudocoris aequalis is newly described and is only known from Holmes Reef, in the Coral Sea, where the fish lives on rubble and hard bottom.
Classification: Biota > Animalia (Kingdom) > Chordata (Phylum) > Vertebrata (Subphylum) > Gnathostomata (Superclass) > Pisces (Superclass) > Actinopterygii (Class) > Perciformes (Order) > Labridae (Family) > Pseudocoris (Genus) > Pseudocoris aequalis (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!
