Thalasseleotrididae (Ocean sleepers)
Etymology: Tempestichthys: Name from the Latin 'tempestas' (storm; f.), referring to Severe Tropical Cyclone Oma, which passed through the Coral Sea between 11 and 22 February 2019, resulting in rough seas, nausea, and changes to the itinerary of the 2019 Coral Sea Monitoring Program Cruise. The common Greek suffix, -ichthys (fish) is used, making the new genus masculine; bettyae: Named for Mrs E. Goatley, the great aunt of the first author; noun in the genitive.

Κλείδες προσδιορισμού | Μορφολογία | Μορφομετρία
Ραχιαίες άκανθες (συνολικά) : 7; Μαλακές ραχιαίες ακτίνες (συνολικά) : 8; Εδρικές άκανθες: 1; Μαλακές εδρικές ακτίνες: 7. This species is distinguished by the following: branchiostegal rays 6; fifth ceratobranchials lack ventral processes; dorsal hemitrichs of the pelvic-fin rays have simple proximal heads; pelvic fins are completely separate, with no anterior frenum or membrane connecting the innermost rays; pectoral fin rays 16; D VI + I,8; A, I,7; ossified but very reduced scapula; scales have a single row of cteni along the scale margins; bony canal support on the preoperculum is extremely reduced; with an interneural gap between the last pterygiophore of the first dorsal fin and the first pterygiophore of the second dorsal fin; epural one; lacks a dorsal postcleithrum; urohyal lacks a ventral shelf; interhyal with disc-shaped lateral structure for articulation with the preoperculum; palatine is close to T-shaped, with a robust ethmoid process, 87% the length of maxillary process; tightly spaced, villiform teeth in multiple rows; premaxilla with two tooth rows to the posterior, increasing to five rows at the anterior; primarily transparent white, with opaque white and crimson red markings; broadly fusiform in shape, with a pointed snout and a laterally compressed head. (Ref, 130190).
Cross section: compressed.
The 4 m2 clove oil station was deployed over a reef outcrop surrounded by sand at a depth of 11 m. Enclosed microhabitats included heavily sedimented reef matrix, live branching and massive corals, Halimeda, sand, and overhangs/crevices (Ref. 130190).
