Range and Identity
Elacatinus xanthiprora is retained as the scientific identity. The checked account includes North Carolina, Florida, Jamaica and Central American locality context. These records should not be expanded to every reef or sponge habitat between the named regions without a verified occurrence.
Habitat and Behavior
Adults are associated with reefs and sponges, with an eighteen-to-twenty-five-meter interval in the summary. This is a recorded habitat reference, not an absolute depth limit. The actual sponge or reef setting remains useful alongside capture or observation depth.
Food and Life History
The upper reference is four centimeters total length. The available material does not establish an independent maximum mass, detailed feeding list or complete spawning sequence. Cleaning behavior is not inferred solely from the fact that other Elacatinus species are known as cleaners.
Field Note
Record the behavior actually observed along with a diagnostic photograph. Presence beside another fish or on a sponge is useful evidence, but it does not automatically establish cleaning or a particular food item.
