(2010) . Type locality. Caribbean. Records. Lizard Island : Chinamans Point ( 14°40′ S 145°28′ E ) several records; Bird Islet ( 14°40′S 145°27′E ) AM W.40404; off Station Beach ( 14°41′S 145°27′E ) AM W.40424; Crystal Beach ( 14°40′S 145°28′E ) AM W.40419; fringing reef between Bird Islet and South Island ( 14°40′S 145°28′E ) AM W.40388, AM W.40413, AM W.40420; Coconut Beach ( 14°39′S 145°28′E ) AM W.40422; ( 14°40′S 145°27′E ) AM W.40425. Surrounding areas: Eagle Island ( 14°41′S 145°37′E ) AM W.422. Outer Barrier: Yonge Reef ( 14°36′S 145°38′39′′E ), several records. Comments. This species has been widely recorded from the region in ecological and in popular articles but recent studies by Barroso et al . (2010) and Borda et al . (2012) would suggest that the species actually represent a suites of species and it is probable that E. complanata is restricted to the Caribbean and not the widespread “cosmopolitan” species as has previously been reported.
