Indo-West Pacific: Red Sea and Natal, South Africa to Niue (Ref. 37816), north to Japan, south to Australia. Recorded from Europa Island (MNHN 1992-0508).
Found above coral outcrops or patch reefs of clear lagoons, channels, or outer reef slopes. Form large aggregations. Feed on zooplankton (Ref. 6113). A protogynous hermaphrodite (Ref. 55367). Males are territorial and haremic (Ref. 9710). Color patterns and size of sexual transition very slightly from one locality to the next. Total length for females from Ref. 9137.

Estimates of some properties based on empirical models
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82805): PD50 = 0.5000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01500 (-0.09512 - 0.12513), b=3.01 (2.94 - 3.09), based on LWR estimates for species & family-BS (Ref. 93245).
Trophic Level (Ref. 69278): 3.4 ±0.45 se; Based on food items.
Resilience (Ref. 69278): High, minimum population doubling time less than 15 months (K=0.6).
Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Low vulnerability (23 of 100) .
