Hubbs, 1953
Very special thanks for the first photo of Labrisomus socorroensis to the Australien Ichthiologist Dr. Ross Robertson.
He has taken his photo at Revillagigedo Islands.
Labrisomus socorroensis is endemic to the Eastern Pacific and is only known from Revillagigedo Islands and Socorro Island.
The Socorro blenny is a benthic species and inhabits shallow and rocky areas to depths of 10 meters and it is carnivor.

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!
