Ecology Summary - Pseudojuloides zeus

Language:

Main Ref.	Victor, B.C. and J.M.B. Edward, 2015
Remarks	Found in deep rubble slope areas on reefs at 80 to 90m depth. However, the particularly deep habitat is very poorly sampled and surveyed and that the species may well have a wider range. Another deep-water wrasse, Cirrhilabrus earlei was also discovered on the same dive in Palau as P. zeus, and is also collected for the aquarium trade by the same commercial collectors in Majuro, and these are mainly shipped to Japan (Ref. 102105).
