Info
(Davis & Cohen, 1969)
Lives exclusively on Cirripathes anguina, which can be found along slopes with strong currents or back reefs. Occurs in pairs, occasionally with juveniles or a smaller female. Also found in nearshore reefs and lagoons and feeds on zooplankton.
Synonyms:
Bryaninops youngei (Davis & Cohen, 1969)
Cottogobius yongei Davis & Cohen, 1969
Tenacigobius yongei (Davis & Cohen, 1969)
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!
