Evolved from Crusturgoslontus sturgendeficere, a small population have been found that were able to adapt to the saltwater environment by concentrating salt in their waste and by taking in more water to compensate water lost by osmosis. They are more activedue to the lack of predators. Colours of the Salty Crêpe Sturge vary from grey to brown.

The Salty Crêpe Sturge has a more herbivorous diet by having a more longer gut system to digest the cellular structure of polyphs. It feeds on polyphs and detritus. These small 15cm long and 1 cm tall sturges sit at once spot eating any polyph it detects with its whiskers while also eating detritus that gets into its mouth while feeding at the murky mud bottom. they will move when they have eaten all the polyphs around them.

It is still seen flapping itself to cover itself in substrate, as a instinct that was inherited when predators were around when they rest. Their flattened shape also deters disturbances while they rest on the bottom.

When breeding takes place, males flip right-side up and swim around furiously until they detect a resting female with their whiskers. Eggs are laid at the substrate, covered by mud from mud stirred up during the mating process and the eggs are then left to hatch. Batches vary from 30-50 eggs.
