Bodianus parrae (Bloch & Schneider, 1801)
Bodianus is a genus of fish in the family of wrasses, the Labridae, which are commonly known as hogfishes.
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!
