; marien rifbewoner; diepteverspreiding 2 - 40 m (Ref. 9710), usually 15 - 40 m (Ref. 9710). Tropical; 32°N - 23°S
Size / Gewicht / Leeftijd
Maturity: Lm ?  range ? - ? cm
Max length : 30.0 cm TL mannelijk/geslacht niet bekend; (Ref. 48636)
Dorsale stekels (totaal): 11 - 12; Dorsale zachte stralen (totaal): 25-27; Anale stekels 3; Anale zachte stralen: 17 - 18. Juveniles closely resemble juvenile H. monoceros and H. acuminatus. The white ring around the mouth, the black instead of the yellow caudal fin and the complete ocular band distinguishes it from H. acuminatus at all sizes (Ref. 1602). Adults have black-centered scales in the main white band (Ref. 1602), juveniles have long banners. Has mostly black face (Ref. 48636).
Pacific Ocean: Andaman Islands in the eastern Indian Ocean to Samoa, north to southern Japan, south to Rowley Shoals and New Caledonia.
An uncommon species (Ref. 9710) that inhabits deep lagoon and seaward reefs. Adults solitary or in small groups and prefer areas with rich coral growth and high vertical relief (Ref. 1602).
