Acanthemblemaria macrospilus

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
Ecology
Marine; reef-associated; depth range 2 - 15 m (Ref.
11482
). Tropical; 29°N - 4°N, 112°W - 85°W (Ref.
56271
)
Eastern Central Pacific: southern Baja California to Acapulco in Mexico and the Revillagigedo Islands.

Maturity: L

?
range ? - ? cm
Max length : 6.0 cm TL male/unsexed; (Ref.
11482
)
This species is distinguished from
A. hastingsi
in having melanophores on the lower jaws that do not reach all the way to the distal end; it possess a red primary bright head color (vs. orange), and the windowing effect around that color is not present or is less distinct; almost not having melanophores reaching the base of the first dorsal fin and more typically have a dark, round spot or stretched out spot instead of a swath (Ref.
84469
).
Inhabits empty barnacles and worm or mollusk tubes on rocky reefs. Feeds on zooplankton.
