Etymology: Luzonichthys: Taken from Luzon, an island in Philippines + greek, ichthys = fish (Ref. 45335).
Eponymy: Edgar Ravenswood Waite (1866–1928) was an English-born Australian zoologist and ichthyologist. [...] (Ref. 128868), visit book page.

Environment: milieu / climate zone / intervalo de profundidade / distribution range
Ecologia
marinhas associadas(os) a recifes; intervalo de profundidade 1 - 55 m (Ref. 27115), usually 1 - 35 m (Ref. 90102). Tropical; 22°C - 28°C (Ref. 27115); 19°N - 22°S
Indo-Pacific: Aldabra and Astove of Seychelles to the Loyalty Islands, Fiji and Japan. Report from southern Marshall Islands appears to be based on the paratype of Luzonichthys robustus Fourmanoir, which has been reidentified as Luzonichthys earlei (Ref. 8524).
Tamanho / Peso / Idade
Maturidade: Lm ? range ? - ? cm
Max length : 7.0 cm TL macho/indeterminado; (Ref. 2334)
Espinhos dorsais (total) : 10; Raios dorsais moles (total) : 15 - 16; Espinhos anais: 3; Raios anais moles: 7. Looks blue with dark yellow over the back when seen in natural light. Unlike most other basslets, the dorsal fins are in two parts (Ref. 48635).
Body shape (shape guide): elongated.
Usually in groups on outer reef slopes (Ref. 27115). Most commonly occurs in shallow water and most likely seen by divers (Ref. 37816). Forms dense aggregations that feed on zooplankton (Ref 90102).
