Short description
Identification keys | Morphology | Morphometrics
Very similar to Ecsenius trilineatus in having white spots and thin dark lines. In E. schroederi there are two mid-lateral close together with a series of white spots between them (Ref. 48636).
Body shape (shape guide): elongated.
Adults occur solitary on sheltered reefs with rich coral growth (Ref. 48636, 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).
