Indo-West Pacific: Red Sea and Madagascar to Fiji and Micronesia; north to Ryukyu andn south to the Great Barrier Reef and New Caledonia.
Found in clear lagoon and seaward reefs. Juveniles in brackish habitats or shallow turbid coastal areas (Ref. 9710). Adults usually solitary, occasionally in pairs; on deep reefs or with sea mounts (Ref. 48635). At Palau, aggregates to spawn about once a year around new moon of April or May (Ref. 37816).

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=0.01357 (-0.14937 - 0.17651), b=2.99 (2.90 - 3.07), based on LWR estimates for this family-BS (Ref. 93245).
Trophic Level (Ref. 69278): 4.0 ±0.66 se; Based on food items.
Resilience (Ref. 69278): Very Low, minimum population doubling time more than 14 years (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): High to very high vulnerability (67 of 100) .
