Stethojulis albovittata (Bonnaterre, 1788)
Stethojulis albovittata inhabits seaward reefs and lagoons. It lives both individually and in small groups consisting of one male and several females.
Feeds on small invertebrates, crustaceans and especially on various mollusks.
Synonymised names:
Labrus albovittatus Bonnaterre, 1788

Stethojulis albovittatus (Bonnaterre, 1788)
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!
