Info
The small blenny Paraclinus grandicomis lives in sponges on shallow reefs and in shells in seagrass beds, but is also thought to associate with anemones.
The head and body of the blenny are brown, with light mottling, the dorsal and anal fins show a dark brown bar with light edges.
The caudal fin has a dark base, the rest of the fin is clear.
Paraclinus grandicomis was last assessed for the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species in 2007 and is classified as "Least Concern".

Synonym: Auchenopterus grandicomis Rosén, 1911
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!
