Etymology: Electrolux: Name refers to the well-developed electrogenic properties of this ray, the discovery of which sheds light (Latin 'lux') on the rich and poorly known fish diversity of the Western Indian Ocean; addisoni: Named for Mark Addison, BlueWilderness dive charters of Widenham, KwaZulu-Natal.
Eponymy: Mark Ramsay Addison (d: 1967) is the South African owner/operator of an underwater filming and expedition company ‘Blue Wilderness’ founded in 1997. [...] (Ref. 128868), visit book page.

Found in warm-temperate or subtropical waters approximately 310 km of coastline with very narrow continental shelf (10-36 km wide to the 200 m isobath), however, the few sightings were all inside the 50 m isobath; on reefs with sandy or gravelly areas from close inshore to less than 50 m depth, including patches of appropriate habitat on inshore and offshore rocky banks and reefs. Apparently an infauna or meiofauna feeder, feeding on polychaete worms (including a tube-worm) and at least one small shrimp-like crustacean (Ref. 75572).
