Eponymy: Lieutenant Colonel Dr O Brummer was a military surgeon in the Royal Dutch East Indies Army and collected in Timor while stationed in Java. He collected the eel holotype. Bleeker (q.v.) was also an army surgeon in the East Indies (from 1842). (Ref. 128868), visit book page.

Spine dorsali (totale) : 0; Raggi dorsali molli (totale) : 0; Spine anali: 0; Raggi anali molli: 0; Vertebre: 201 - 214. Has a more typical muraenid head than R. quaesita.

Inhabits reef flats and shallow lagoons, usually buried in the sand or rubble (Ref. 9710, 48635). Occasionally seen swimming between its burrows in shallow protected areas (Ref. 48635). A gonochoristic species (Ref. 32169). Solitary (Ref 90102).

Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 26.4 - 29.3, mean 28.5 °C (based on 2195 cells).

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD₅₀ = 1.0000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00049 (0.00024 - 0.00099), b=3.26 (3.10 - 3.42), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).

Trophic level (Ref. 69278): 4.1 ±0.7 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives

Resilienza (Ref. 120179): Basso, tempo minimo di raddoppiamento della popolazione 4.5 - 14 anni (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).

Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): High vulnerability (62 of 100).
