Info
Winterbottom, 1995
This goby was described by Dr. Richard Winterbottom, in 1995, an important supporter of the reef-lex.net.
Trimma barralli appears only in the Gulf of Aqaba and in the Red Sea, here in deeper reefs down to 30 meters.
Diet: small zooplancton and zoobenthos.
Keeping in an tank is possible, but the species is rarely imported, but could be a colourful hotspot in our tanks.
Synonyms:
Salarias anomalus Regan, 1905
Salarias phantasticus Boulenger, 1897
Salarias pulcher Murray, 1887
Classification: Biota > Animalia (Kingdom) > Chordata (Phylum) > Vertebrata (Subphylum) > Gnathostomata (Superclass) > Pisces (Superclass) > Actinopterygii (Class) > Perciformes (Order) > Blenniidae (Family) > Salariinae (Subfamily) > Ecsenius (Genus)
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!
