Etymology: Ecsenius: Greek, exenios, -os, -on = uncontrolled, immoderate.
Eponymy: Pierre Fourmanoir (1924–2007) was a French ichthyologist who mainly worked in New Caledonia for the Paris Museum’s ichthyology laboratory. [...] (Ref. 128868), visit book page.
Environment: milieu / climate zone / depth range / distribution range
Ecology
Marine; reef-associated; depth range 1 - 20 m (Ref. 86942). Tropical; 13°S - 23°S, 163°E - 173°W
Western Pacific: New Caledonia (including Uvea, Loyalty Islands), Ono-i-Lau (southern Lau Islands Group of Fiji) and Tongatapu (Tonga). Occurrence in the Solomon Islands is doubtful.
Size / Weight / Age
Maturity: Lm ?  range ? - ? cm
Max length : 4.9 cm SL male/unsexed; (Ref. 5296)
Oviparous. Eggs are demersal and adhesive (Ref. 205), and are attached to the substrate via a filamentous, adhesive pad or pedestal (Ref. 94114). Larvae are planktonic, often found in shallow, coastal waters (Ref. 94114).

Estimates based on models
Preferred temperature (Ref.
123201): 24.7 - 28.3, mean 26.7 °C (based on 151 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref.
82804): PD
50 = 0.5000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00776 (0.00356 - 0.01695), b=3.00 (2.81 - 3.19), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref.
93245).
Trophic level (Ref.
69278): 2.0 ±0.00 se; based on food items.
Resilience (Ref.
120179): High, minimum population doubling time less than 15 months (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref.
59153): Low vulnerability (10 of 100).
