Short description
Chiavi di identificazione | Morfologia | Morfometria
Very similar to Ecsenius cf bandanus, but readily identified by the double black spots on the abdominal region (Ref. 48636).
Adults occur on reef crests and slopes with rich coral growth to a depth of about 15 m (Ref. 48636). Often solitary and around sponges and tunicates (Ref. 90102). 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).
