Tamanho / Peso / Idade
Maturidade: Lm ?  range ? - ? cm
Max length : 6.4 cm SL macho/indeterminado; (Ref. 12251)
Espinhos dorsais (total) : 14 - 16; Raios dorsais (total) : 10 - 11; Espinhos anais: 3; Raios anais : 7 - 8. Diagnosis: lower pharyngeal jaw robust and massive, with a large, heart-shaped dentigerous plate, covered with numerous fine, regularly arrayed teeth; mouth not squared or obtuse; ventral margin of lower lip smooth; ratio of lower jaw length to lower jaw width > 1; oral jaw teeth fixed with non-spatulate crowns (Ref. 26738, 81260). 13-16 gill rakers on first arch (Ref. 26738).
Prefers sponges, but small amounts of diatoms, plants (mostly algae) and detritus have also been found in their stomachs (Ref. 52307). Pair-bonding, open (Ref. 52307) substrate brooder/spawner (Ref. 52307, 81260) with both parents guarding the brood (Ref. 52307). Usually spawns in shallow waters, building colonies of up to 6 pairs separated by about 30 cm; eggs are hidden between leaves and pieces of wood (Ref. 52307).

Estimates based on models
Índice de diversidade filogenética (Ref.

Nível Trófico (Ref.
69278): 2.8 ±0.1 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Resiliência (Ref.
