Distribution Countries | FAO areas | Ecosystems | Occurrences | Introductions | Faunafri
Western Pacific: restricted to the Great Barrier Reef, adjacent coastal areas, and Lord Howe Island.
Found in areas of sparse coral growth. Feed on algae and small benthic invertebrates (Ref. 2334). Oviparous (Ref. 205). Form pairs during breeding (Ref. 205). Heavy algae growth should always be maintained in the aquarium.

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=0.02286 (-0.13127 - 0.17699), b=3.00 (2.92 - 3.09), based on LWR estimates for this genus-BS (Ref. 93245).
Trophic Level (Ref. 69278): 2.8 ±0.25 se; Based on food items.
Resilience (Ref. 69278): High, minimum population doubling time less than 15 months (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Low vulnerability (12 of 100) .
