DescriptionMexichromis mariei has a white to pale pink mantle with scattered rounded pink-purple tubercles. The original description describes red spots around the edge of the mantle but there is usually a yellow band which may be slightly broken into patches. The gills are pale pink with a purple line on the exterior rachis. The rhinophores grade from pale pink to purple at the tips.[4] Ecology
