(Hubrecht, 1876)
The Yellow-bar Torpedo-wrasse is usually found mixed with various other fishes in open water to feed on zooplancton.
Males distinct with the bright yellow bar centrally on sides, females are plain green with a black "ear" spot and asimilar spot on base of the caudal fin.
In the colder water of Japan, the wrasses grow larger than the average.
Needs sandy grounds to hide and sleep.
Synonyms:
Coris bleekeri Hubrecht, 1876
Coris philippina Fowler & Bean, 1928
Julis albolumbata Schmidt, 1931
Pseudocoris philippina (Fowler & Bean, 1928)
Classification: Biota > Animalia (Kingdom) > Chordata (Phylum) > Vertebrata (Subphylum) > Gnathostomata (Superclass) > Pisces (Superclass) > Actinopterygii (Class) > Perciformes (Order) > Labridae (Family) > Pseudocoris (Genus) > Pseudocoris bleekeri (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!
