Monacanthidae (Filefishes)
Etymology: Enigmacanthus: Latin, aenigma = to speak allusively or obscurely + Greek, akantha = thorn; filamentosus: Named in reference to its filamentous second ray in the male's soft dorsal fin (Ref. 48594).
Environment: milieu / climate zone / depth range / distribution range
Ecologie
marien demersaal; diepte 36 - 67 m (Ref. 48594). Tropical

Dorsale stekels (totaal) : 1; Dorsale zachte stralen (totaal) : 27 - 28; Anale stekels: 0; Anale zachte stralen: 26; Wervels: 19. Maximum known size small (3.6 cm SL); soft Doral rays 27-28; anal rays 26; pectoral rays 11/11; dorsal profile of snout straight in male, slightly concave in female, without prominent hump just before nostrils; soft dorsal and anal fins not elevated anteriorly, outer margins convex; soft dorsal fin of male with second ray elongate and filamentous; caudal fin moderately long (about equal to head length), posterior margin convex; pelvis capable of moving vertically through an arc of about 40 degrees, producing a moderately large ventral flap; lobe on rear of pelvis small, directed dorsoposteriorly; pelvic fin rudiment relatively short and small, posterior segment movably articulated with pelvis; midbody scales each with up to six minute spinules located on a transverse ridge, those on caudal peduncle of male slightly longer, recurved, forming a poorly defined patch of bristles (Ref. 48594).
Inhabits sandy bottoms, possibly in areas with scattered coral clumps (Ref. 48594).

Estimates based on models
Preferred temperature (Ref.
123201): 15.3 - 28.6, mean 25.9 °C (based on 15 cells).
Fylogenetische diversiteitsindex (Ref.
82804): PD
50 = 1.0000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01995 (0.00956 - 0.04164), b=2.93 (2.76 - 3.10), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref.
93245).
Trofisch niveau (Ref.
69278): 3.0 ±0.4 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Weerstandsvermogen (Ref.
120179): Hoog, minimale populatieverdubbelingstijd minder dan 15 maanden (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref.
