Etymology: minersorum: Name from latinized eponym, a noun in the genitive case, in honor of Andrew and Marit Miners.
Eponymy: Susan Lee Jewett (formerly Susan J Karnella) (d: 1945). (Also see Jewett & Susan (Jewett)). In the genus’ name, ‘Sue’ is attached to Eviota, a related genus. Andrew and Marit Miners founded (2008) the Misool EcoResort in Raja Ampat Islands, Indonesia, and its charitable arm, the Misool Foundation; the joint mission of which “…is to safeguard the most biodiverse reefs on Earth through the empowerment of [...] (Ref. 128868), visit book page.

Descripción breve
Claves de identificación | Morfología | Morfometría
Espinas dorsales (total) : 7; Radios blandos dorsales (total) : 9; Espinas anales: 1; Radios blandos anales: 8. This species is distinguished from its congeners by the following set of characters: a basal membrane fully joining fifth pelvic-fin rays; without frenum; a cephalic sensory-canal system with POP, NA, AITO (single), PITO, AOT, SOT pores present; pelvic-fin rays branched; D2 I,9; A I,8; pectoral-fin rays 16 or 17, all unbranched; body stocky with a deep caudal peduncle (15-18% SL) not tapering from mid-body. Colour pattern in life with a bluish-grey background with red-orange markings over head, pectoral-fin base, and as a bar on each body scale; fins with iridescent sky-blue margins and round reddish spots along spines of second dorsal fin (Ref. 121769).
Cross section: oval.
This cryptic species was only observed in close association with a particular species of tube sponge that is provisionally assigned to the genus Theonella. Using an underwater lightsource, the goby could be seen peering out from the darkened recesses of the exhalent pore of the sponge, but would quickly retreat deep into the canal structure. This behavior made it difficult to photograph in situ or to capture by hand, even with the use of anesthetic clove oil. The sponge was commonly observed on current-exposed walls and steep slopes in the 15-25 m depth range; a visual survey of approximately 200 individual sponges revealed only 10 of this new species (Ref. 121769).
