Haemulidae
Haemulidae is a family of fishes in the order Perciformes known commonly as grunts. It is made up of the two subfamilies Haemulinae (grunters) and Plectorhynchinae (sweetlips), which in turn contain about 133 species in 19 genera. These fish are found in tropical fresh, brackish, and salt waters around the world. They are bottom-feeding predators, and named for the ability of Haemulinae to produce sound by grinding their teeth. They also engage in mutualistic relationship with cleaner gobies of genus ''Elacatinus'', allowing them to feed on ectoparasites on their bodies.

Haemulinae
Haemulinae is a subfamily of the Haemulidae and consists of the genera of that family which are regarded as being of New World origin, although they are now widespread. The subfamily is distinguished from the Plectorhynchinae by having a short dorsal fin which contains 13-16 soft rays, as opposed to the long dorsal fin with 17-26 soft rays of the subfamily Plectorhynchinae. Genera The following genera are included in the Haemulinae: * ''Anisotremus'' Gill 1861 * '' Boridia'' Cuvier, 1830 * ''Brachydeuterus'' Gill, 1862 * '' Conodon'' Cuvier, 1830 * '' Emmelichthyops'' Schultz, 1945 * ''Haemulon'' Cuvier, 1829 * '' Haemulopsis'' Steindachner, 1869 * ''Isacia'' Jordan & Fesler, 1893 * '' Microlepidotus'' Gill, 1862 * ''Orthopristis'' Girard, 1858 * '' Parakuhlia'' Pellegrin, 1913 * ''Pomadasys'' Lacépède, 1802 * '' Xenichthys'' Gill, 1862 * ''Xenistius'' Jordan & Gilbert, 1883 * '' Xenocys'' Jordan & Bollman, 1890 The genus '' Brachygenys'' is recognised by some auth ...

Xenistius
''Xenistius'' is a genus of grunts native to the eastern Pacific Ocean. Species The currently recognized species in this genus are: * '' Xenistius californiensis'' ( Steindachner, 1876) (Californian salema) * '' Xenistius peruanus'' Hildebrand, 1946 Systematics The genus ''Haemulon'' was determined to be paraphyletic in molecular studies which showed ''Haemulon chrysargyreum'' clustered with ''Xenistius californianus''. The genus '' Brachygenys'' which had been created by Felipe Poey in 1868 was revived to include these species and ensure the monophyly of ''Haemulon''. The genus also includes the other species in ''Xenistius'' and '' Xenocys''. These changes are recognised by ''Catalog of Fishes Catalog of Fishes is a comprehensive on-line database and reference work on the scientific names of fish species and genera.

Pomadasys
''Pomadasys'' is a genus of grunts native to the waters of the eastern Atlantic Ocean and through the Indian Ocean to the Pacific coast of the Americas.

Plectorhinchus
''Plectorhinchus'' is a genus of marine ray-finned fish, sweetlips belonging to the subfamily Plectorhinchinae which is one of two subfamilies in the family Haemulidae which also includes the grunts. The species in this genus are found in fresh, brackish, and salt waters. Description and characteristics These fish have big, fleshy lips and tend to live on coral reefs in the Indo-Pacific in small groups or pairs. They will often associate with other fishes of similar species; several species of sweetlips sometimes swim together. They are usually seen in clusters in nooks and crannies or under overhangs. At nightfall, they venture from their shelters to seek out their bottom-dwelling invertebrate prey, such as bristleworms, shrimps, and small crabs. Sweetlips colouring and patterning changes throughout their lives. For example, ''Plectorhinchus polytaenia'' develops more stripes with age. Juvenile sweetlips generally look quite different from the adults, and often live soli ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Perciformes
Perciformes (), also called the Percomorpha or Acanthopteri, is an order or superorder of ray-finned fish. If considered a single order, they are the most numerous order of vertebrates, containing about 41% of all bony fish. Perciformes means "perch-like". Perciformes is an Order within the Clade Percomorpha consisting of "perch-like" Percomorphans. This group comprises over 10,000 species found in almost all aquatic ecosystems. The order contains about 160 families, which is the most of any order within the vertebrates. It is also the most variably sized order of vertebrates, ranging from the ''Schindleria brevipinguis'' to the marlin in the genus ''Makaira''. They first appeared and diversified in the Late Cretaceous. Among the well-known members of this group are perch and darters (Percidae), sea bass and groupers (Serranidae). Characteristics The dorsal and anal fins are divided into anterior spiny and posterior soft-rayed portions, which may be partially or compl ...

Elacatinus
''Elacatinus'' is a genus of small marine gobies, often known collectively as the neon gobies. Although only one species, ''E. oceanops'', is technically the "neon goby," because of their similar appearance, other members of the genus are generally labeled neon gobies, as well. Except for a single East Pacific species, all reside in warmer parts of the West Atlantic, including the Caribbean and Gulf of Mexico. They are known for engaging in symbiosis with other marine creatures by providing them cleaning service that consists of getting rid of ectoparasites on their bodies. In return, ''Elacatinus'' species obtain their primary source of food, ectoparasites. Species Currently, 24 recognized species are placed in this genus: * ''Elacatinus atronasus'' J. E. Böhlke & C. R. Robins, 1968 * ''Elacatinus cayman'' Victor, 2014 (Cayman cleaner goby) * ''Elacatinus centralis'' Victor, 2014 (Cayman sponge goby) * ''Elacatinus chancei'' Beebe & Hollister, 1933 (shortstripe goby) * ''El ...
