Etymology:
Valenciennea:
From Achille Valenciennes 1794-1865; he worked with Duméril, Cuvier and Lacepède since 1815; malacologist, author of a "Histoire naturelle des poissons" (Ref.
45335
)
.
Environment: milieu / climate zone / depth range / distribution range
Ecology
Marine; reef-associated; depth range 1 - 30 m (Ref.
48637
), usually 2 - 30 m (Ref.
27115
). Tropical; 22°C - 27°C (Ref.
27115
)
Western Pacific: Taiwan, Macao, Hong Kong, Philippines, and from Western Australia to Sydney, New South Wales (Australia). Recently reported from Tonga (Ref.

: 13 - 16. Characterized by yellowish white to pale mauve body color; blue-edged orange stripe on cheek extending along lower side to base of caudal fin; presence of pair of orange-brown stripes on back; caudal fin with dark margin and white submarginal band; juvenile has yellow stripe on midside and pair of dark stripes on back; rhomboid caudal fin; length of caudal fin 3.1-3.6 in SL; longitudinal scale series 63-92; ctenoid body scales, becoming cycloid anteriorly below first dorsal fin and on abdomen; head or midline of nape without scales; side of nape partly scaled with patch extending forward to above posterior edge of preopercle; partly or fully scaled pectoral-fin base in adult; usually scaled prepelvic area in adult; depth of body 5.5-6.3 in SL (Ref.
90102
).
Occurs over fine, silty or muddy sand bottoms, Ref. 48637. Usually in pairs (Ref.
90102
