Environment: milieu / climate zone / depth range / distribution range
Ecology
Marine; reef-associated; depth range 3 - 100 m (Ref.
9823
), usually 3 - 40 m (Ref.
27115
). Tropical; 25°C - 28°C (Ref.
27115
); 37°N - 35°S, 101°E - 130°W
Western Pacific: eastward to French Polynesia, north to Japan, south to New Caledonia. Myers & Lieske 1994 (Ref.
9710
) list the subspecies
loxozonus
as occurring from Vietnam to the Marshall Islands and Tonga, north to the Ryukyu and Ogasawara Islands and the subspecies
trotteri
as occurring in the Line and Cook Islands and French Polynesia. Reports of
Bodianus hirsutus
(synonym of
Bodianus macrourus
) from SW Indian Ocean may be referring to this species.

). Often misidentified as
Bodianus hirsutus
(synonym of
Bodianus macrourus
(Lacepede, 1801) (Ref.

Adults inhabit clear lagoon and seaward reefs (Ref.
1602
), on slopes or along upper part of drop-offs (Ref.
48636
). Feed mainly on benthic, hard-shelled, invertebrates such as mollusks and crustaceans (Ref.
9823
). Oviparous, distinct pairing during breeding (Ref.
205
).
