Allen & Erdmann, 2006
Very special thanks for the first two photos of Halichoeres insularis to Dr. Gerry R. Allen from Australia.
He has taken these photos at Cenderawasih Bay, Indonesia, where Cirrhilabrus cenderawasih is endemic.
The wrasse is found in a depht from 25-75 meters inn sheltered seaward reefs, primarily on the inner and eastern portions of the Cenderawasih Bay on rubble substrates.
Cirrhilabrus cenderawasih is occasionally collected for the aquarium trade.
Classification: Biota > Animalia (Kingdom) > Chordata (Phylum) > Vertebrata (Subphylum) > Gnathostomata (Superclass) > Pisces (Superclass) > Actinopterygii (Class) > Perciformes (Order) > Labridae (Family) > Cirrhilabrus (Genus) > Cirrhilabrus cenderawasih (Species)
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!
