Etymology authors: "The species epithet refers to Latin vadum meaning “shallow water”. Unlike its congeners, this species was reported from shallow depths, from one to twelve meters." Latin 'vadum' is a noun therefore the name is an unchanging noun in apposition. [details]
Type locality Lizard Island (south of lagoon entrance, reef near Bird Islet), Great Barrier Reef, Australia, -14.694, 145.466 (14.694º S 145.466º E), 1-1.5 m [details]
