Info
Eviota geminata Greenfield & Bogorodsky, n. sp.
Found in reef slopes and coralline blocks. Collected by ichthyocide, the female from a shallow slope of a fringing reef with coral patches, 5-12 m, at the seaward side of the island, the male at about 12 m from the opposite side, with a steep slope down to 30-40 m.
Distribution and Habitat.
Presently known from two specimens collected from an unnamed island close to
Dubai, Saudi Arabia in the Red Sea, 25 km south of Duba, 3 km offshore. Specimens were collected from shelter
in reef by ichthyocide (not seen before collection). The female was collected from the seaward side of the island
from a shallow slope of a fringing reef with coral patches at its base at depths of 5–12 m, and the male specimen
was collected at a depth of about 12 m from the opposite side of the island, characterized by a steep slope down
to 30–40 m, with a reef wall and isolated coral blocks.

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!
