Distribution Countries | FAO areas | Ecosystems | Occurrences | Introductions | Faunafri
Indo-Pacific: Red Sea and islands in the western Indian Ocean (Ref. 528) to the Line and Marquesan Islands, north to the Ryukyu Islands, south to the southern Great Barrier Reef; Mariana and Marshall Islands in Micronesia.
This schooling species inhabits exposed seaward reefs in relatively shallow water, over hard bottoms. Usually many individuals occupy the same refuge. Found to be subjected to strong currents, where in small to large aggregations (Ref. 48637).
