Distribution Countries | FAO areas | Ecosystems | Occurrences | Introductions | Faunafri

Western Pacific: widely distributed throughout the Indo-Malayan Archipelago, from southern Japan, south to the Northwest Shelf of Australia, and east to New Ireland, Papua New Guinea.

Found near shelter of coral or rock of shallow reefs (Ref. 9710), with moderate surge or currents where in spread-out groups of mixed sexes. Moves about activity through the gutters and passages (Ref. 48635). Feeds on small fishes (Ref. 559). Frequently seen in the aquarium fish trade, and has been bred in captivity (Ref. 35416, 37748).
