Comments: Adults are found in environments very similar to <i>E. obscurus</i>.  They also commonly occur in isolated reefs far from coasts wherein other <i>Enneapterygius</i> spp. could not be found (Ref. 88983).  Eggs are hemispherical and covered with numerous sticky threads that anchor them in the algae on the nesting sites (Ref. 240).  Larvae are planktonic which occur primarily in shallow, nearshore waters (Ref. 94114).
