[3] Elasoma gilberti is closely related to E. okefenokee, and the two species are nearly indistinguishable in appearance.
The gulf pipefish is a marine-estuarine species. It commonly inhabits shallow, highly vegetated shoreline areas with clear, tannin-stained streams and rivers. They also commonly inhabit estuarine seagrass meadows. [6] However, their species population have been declining due to the impact of growing human (Homo sapiens) population size

Gulf butterfish form large loose schools across the continental shelf over sand/mud bottoms; depth ranges from 2 to 275 m at least, but are most abundant at 155 to 225 m.
