Etymology: Ecsenius: Greek, exenios, -os, -on = uncontrolled, immoderate ;   dentex: Pre-Linnean source unclear; Latin, 'dens' = tooth or toothed, referring to the species' most prominent characteristic of having the highest average number of teeth within the Yaeyamaensis Group. .

Environment: milieu / climate zone / depth range / distribution range Ecology

Marine; demersal; depth range 0 - 4 m (Ref. 5296 ). Tropical

Short description Morphology | Morphometrics

Dorsal spines (total): 11 - 13; Dorsal soft rays (total): 13-15; Anal spines : 2; Anal soft rays : 15 - 17; Vertebrae : 31 - 33. Dorsal fin XI-XIII.13-15 (rarely XI, XIII, or 15); incised between spinous and segmented-ray portions. Anal fin 11,15-17 (rarely 17). Pectoral fin 12-14 (usually 13). Segmented caudal-fin rays 13. Vertebrae 10 + 21-23. Dentary incisor teeth which includes anterior canines very similar in appearance with incisors, 49-59 in males and 53 to 63 in females, averaging more in females than males; posterior canines 0 or 1 (typically 1). Lateral line lacking vertical pairs of pores, extending posteriorly to point between verticals from 9th and 11th dorsal-fin spines, typically extending to or beyond 10th spine. With cirrus on posterior rim of anterior nostril; absent on anterior rim.

Biology     Glossary (e.g. epibenthic)

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 ).

Life cycle and mating behavior Maturity | Reproduction | Spawning | Eggs | Fecundity | Larvae

Oviparous, distinct pairing (Ref. 205 ).

Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201 ): 24.3 - 28.4, mean 26.6 °C (based on 101 cells). Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804 ):  PD 50 = 0.5000   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high]. Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00741 (0.00335 - 0.01640), b=3.02 (2.83 - 3.21), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245 ). Trophic level (Ref. 69278 ):  2.0   ±0.00 se; based on food items. Resilience (Ref. 120179 ):  High, minimum population doubling time less than 15 months (Preliminary K or Fecundity.). Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153 ):  Low vulnerability (10 of 100).
