Info
This species is most similar to Eviota sigillata Jewett & Lachner, 1983 (type locality: Cargados Carajos Shoals, Mauritius, Mascarene Islands)
Eviota cf. sigillata has only been taken at Viti Levu and Vanua Levu in Fiji. Field notes often mention dead coral, sand, silt as well as rubble and coral.

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!
