The bellysucker gilltail split from its ancestor, the crystal gilltail. It has gotten smaller and specializes in eating crastrum and their relatives. Its bottom fin has evolved into a sucker so it can stick to rocks and crystal flora just like crastum can. They will pick them off with their strong beaks and break through their protective shells.

The bellysucker gilltail are born male but as they get older they become female. They mate during the summer, and lay their eggs in the sand in the fall. They live in small schools of 5 to 10. When predators come they will hide between rocks or crystal flora.
