Environment: milieu / climate zone / depth range / distribution range
Ecologia
marino associati a barriera corallina; distribuzione batimetrica 15 - 365 m (Ref. 9832). Subtropical
Western Pacific: off New Zealand and temperate waters off Australia; also known from one collection made northeast of Rockhampton, Queensland, Australia, and from one collection in the Chesterfield Island region of the Coral Sea; may reach Indonesian waters. Closely related to Callanthias japonicus from Japanese waters and from Callanthias platei from the southeast Pacific; all three taxa may be subspecies of a single wide-ranging species.

Max length : 49.0 cm SL maschio/sesso non determinato; (Ref. 33839); common length : 18.0 cm SL maschio/sesso non determinato; (Ref. 9832)
Spine dorsali (totale) : 11; Raggi dorsali molli (totale) : 10 - 12; Spine anali: 3; Raggi anali molli: 10 - 11; Vertebre: 24. Continuous dorsal fin, typically 11 dorsal- and anal-fin rays, and an emarginate caudal fin with elongate outer rays (Ref. 33616).
A schooling species which seeks the cover of caves and crevices at night and when disturbed. Often found on rocky reefs in coastal waters (Ref. 33616). Presumably feed on plankton.
