Info
The determination of the goby Priolepis aithiops was based on just two specimens from Indonesia, where the animals were found over mud bottoms.
If the species still exists is unknown, because there are no new finding reports.
The species name "aithiops" herae stands for "sunburned" in allusion to the plain, dark brown coloration of the species.
Special thanks for the first photo of Priolepis aithiops to Gerry Allen.
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!
