Chaenopsidae (Pike-, tube- and flagblennies)
Etymology: Acanthemblemaria: Greek, akantha = thorn + Greek, emblema, -atos, anything that is nailed, knocked in; also anything with bass or high relief (Ref. 45335).
Environment: milieu / climate zone / depth range / distribution range
Ecología
marino asociado a arrecife; rango de profundidad 1 - 12 m (Ref. 13628). Tropical; 20°N - 7°N, 177°W - 58°W (Ref. 56277)
Western Central Atlantic: Bahamas and Florida, USA to Curaçao (Ref. 5521). Caribbean, including Antilles (Ref. 26938).
Length at first maturity / Tamaño / Peso / Age
Maturity: Lm 1.8, range 2 - ? cm
Max length : 3.1 cm TL macho / no sexado; (Ref. 51458)
Espinas dorsales (total) : 20 - 22; Radios blandos dorsales (total) : 13 - 16; Espinas anales: 2; Radios blandos anales: 21 - 25.
Inhabits small patch reefs surrounded by white sand (Ref. 5521). Observed primarily on dead surfaces of elkhorn coral (Acropora palmata), but significantly more males than females were found on live coral surfaces. Males occurred twice as frequently as females in the vacated constructed tubes of serpulid worms or vermetid mollusks that provided greater surface for egg deposition (Ref. 47880). Feed mainly on planktonic calanoid copepods (Ref. 94105).
