Biển Cùng sống ở rạn san hô; Mức độ sâu 0 - 55 m (Ref. 54832).   Tropical

Sự phân bố Các nước | Các khu vực của FAO | Các hệ sinh thái | Những lần xuất hiện | Point map | Những chỉ dẫn | Faunafri

Indo-Pacific: South Africa to the Red Sea and from the Philippines to Cape York Peninsula in northern Australia; widely distributed and large gap in the distribution is probably a collecting artefact rather than indicative of a true distribution.
