Etymology: Gymnothorax: Greek, gymnos = naked + Greek, thorax, -akos = breast (Ref. 45335).

Environment: milieu / climate zone / depth range / distribution range
Ökologie
seewasser riff-verbunden; tiefenbereich 0 - 20 m (Ref. 90102). Tropical
Indo-West Pacific: East Africa to the Marshall Islands, north to the Ryukyu Islands, south to Australia. Likely to occur in Seychelles (Ref. 1623).
Length at first maturity / Size / Gewicht / Alter
Maturity: Lm ?, range 44 - ? cm
Max length : 80.0 cm TL Männchen/unbestimmt; (Ref. 1602)
Rückenflossenstacheln (insgesamt) : 0; Rückenflossenweichstrahlen (insgesamt) : 0; Afterflossenstacheln: 0; Afterflossenweichstrahlen: 0; Wirbelzahl: 134 - 145. Chestnut brown species that becomes darker posteriorly. Differs from the uniformly brown G. pindae by lacking the fine serrations on the posterior edges of the lower jaw teeth and by having a mouth that may not quite close completely.
Inhabits relatively turbid areas of sheltered lagoon reefs (Ref. 1602, 37816). Including mangroves in 1-20 m (Ref 90102). Minimum depth reported taken from Ref. 86942.

Estimates based on models
Preferred temperature (Ref.
123201): 24.4 - 29.3, mean 28.4 °C (based on 3191 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref.
82804): PD
50 = 0.5000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00048 (0.00025 - 0.00091), b=3.28 (3.12 - 3.44), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this Genus-body shape (Ref.

Trophic level (Ref.
69278): 4.0 ±0.6 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Widerstandsfähigkeit (Ref.
120179): niedrig, Verdopplung der Population dauert 4,5 - 14 Jahre. (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
