About a century ago, E. acoroides was registered at Mahe and Praslin islands, Seychelles (den Hartog, 1970). More recent publications (Kalugina-Gutnik et al., 1992; Bandeira and Gell, 2003) gave little evidence. The species was reported for the Seychelles in "Mangroves and seagrasses of the Indian Ocean", CD, SIDCA. Saya de Malha Bank and the Mascarene ridge are, apparently, new localities for this species (Fig. 2). E. acoroides usually grows at depths from to 6 m. The lower boundary for this species is 20 m (Saya de Malha Bank, Mascarene ridge). Little evidence is available about the ecology of this seagrass.
