Fourth day of Spectember! This time, from the Indo-Pacific clamoral reefs, the Divine Seachlid (Guranmamare divinus).

Seachlids is the name attributed to a variety of cichlid clades that have independently adapted for life in the ocean, and that have established themselves specially as key components of reefs and other tropical marine ecosystems. One of these groups Titanogynichthyinae, has evolved a particularly odd characteristic, with females being often much larger than males, and protecting swarms of its young alongside one or multiple of its mates. They are usually key in maintaining a reef's health, as they maintain shells near their nesting areas clean and protected from predators, allowing both bigger and smaller clamorals to survive.

But no species takes its dimorphism as far as the largest species of this group, the Divine Seachlid. The females of this species can achieve lengths of 180cm long and weigh up to 150kg, while the males are less than a third this size, reaching only up to 50cm long. They are monogamous, guarding their young and hunting in pairs, like other single mate species in this group. However, since the females often live much longer than males, one female will usually have multiple monogamous partners in one lifetime. Due to their size, they are a keystone species of the reefs they inhabit, feeding on large mollusks, echinoderms and even fish that could cause serious harm if they overpopulated.
