Info

Ecsenius bathii Springer, 1988

Distribution
Western Central Pacific: Indonesia and Malaysia.

Biology
Found in reef crests with large rounded corals, or encrusted sponges to about 10 m depth.
Females are commonly seen and seem to outnumber males. Oviparous. Eggs are demersal and adhesive.

Environment
Marine; reef-associated; non-migratory

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!
