Ekologi
marina revassocierade; ej vandrande; djupintervall 0 - 50 m (Ref. 402). Tropical; 23°N - 28°S, 32°E - 132°E (Ref. 94071)
Indian Ocean: East Africa (not including the Red Sea and the Arabian (Persian) Gulf) to Indonesia. Records of this species from the Marshall Islands and Australia are probably misidentifications of Caesio teres.
