Name: Gramma Loreto( Royal gramma)

Size:

This species attains a maximum length of 8 cm (3.1 inches).

Distribution:

Bermuda to the Bahamas, south to West Indies and Venezuela. A single specimen, probably a "waft" or a specimen released by an aquarist, was reported from the Florida Keys.

Habitat:

The royal gramma is typically found in shallower water than its congeners. Although it has been reported as deep as 76 m (250 feet) in some areas, it is most abundant at depths of 1 to 29 m (3.3 to 96 feet). It occurs near large coral heads, steep ledges, under overhangs and in caves. The royal gramma can be found associating with a number of different types of coral species including (Montastrea, Acropora and Diploria). It is most prevalent in areas where the reef has the greatest vertical relief. This type of topography would give this little planktivore access to a larger area of the water column, and food, without it having to stray as far from shelter. It also allows individuals to spread out more, reducing intraspecific competition.

Distinguishing Characteristics:

As mentioned previously, the royal gramma, or fairy basslet, is one of the most ubiquitous fishes in the Caribbean. It is magenta or purple on the anterior portion of the body and yellow or gold on the posterior section. There is a distinct difference in the coloration of the more northern and southern forms of this fish, although the two color forms are considered to be the same species. In specimens from Bermuda, the Bahamas and northern Caribbean (e.g., Cayman Islands) the magenta coloration only extends back as far as the middle of the pectoral fins, while in the more southern color form the darker color occurs back past the ###### fin origin. Individuals throughout the range have a black spot on the anterior portion of the dorsal fin and a diagonal line that bisects the eye. This species also has long, elegant pelvic fins. There is a similar species found of Brazil (the Brazilian gramma [Gramma braziliensis]).

Name: Gramma braziliensis( BRAZILIAN GRAMMA)

Size:

10 cm (3.9 inches)

Distribution:

Brazil

Habitat:

It is a shallow water gramma, having been reported from a depth range of 3 to 22 m (10 to 72 feet). It is found along the mainland coast of Brazil, as well near offshore islands. Like its close relative, it is often found under ledges and in caves.

Distinguishing Characteristics:

It differs from the royal gramma (Gramma loreto) in having an upper jaw that extends about a one pupil distance beyond the rear margin of the eye and a first dorsal spine that is noticeably shorter than the remainder of the dorsal spines. The color is similar to the royal gramma, but there are no yellow streaks on the head.
