Pacific Ocean: formerly known to be endemic to the Hawaiian Islands. Recorded from Johnston Island (Ref. 11013) and the Marshall Islands (Ref. 5439). Replaced by Chaetodon declivis in the Line and Marquesan Islands (Ref. 37816).

Maturity: Lm ? range ? - ? cm
Max length : 15.0 cm TL Männchen/unbestimmt; (Ref. 9710)
Rückenflossenstacheln (insgesamt) : 13 - 14; Rückenflossenweichstrahlen (insgesamt) : 18 - 22; Afterflossenstacheln: 3; Afterflossenweichstrahlen: 16 - 17. Differs from C. flavocoronatus by lacking a broad yellow band on the nape (Ref. 1602).
Often found in the vicinity of steep slopes, solitary or in pairs and occasionally in small aggregations (Ref. 4858). Benthopelagic (Ref. 58302). Feed on a variety of planktonic and benthic organisms (Ref. 4858). Oviparous (Ref. 205). Form pairs during breeding (Ref. 205). High-priced aquarium export (Ref. 37816).
