Etymology:
Bodianus:
Bodianus
after
Bodiano
or
Pudiano
, from the Portuguese
pudor
, meaning modesty (Jordan & Evermann, 1896).
;
mesothorax:
Name from the Greek
mesos
for middle, and masculine noun
thorax
or breast plate; apparently in reference to the prominent diagonal black band on the body of adults of this species (Ref.
75973
)
.

Ecology
Marine; reef-associated; depth range 0 - 60 m (Ref.

), usually 5 - 20 m (Ref.
27115
). Subtropical; 24°C - 28°C (Ref.
27115

Western Pacific between Wakayama Pref., Japan and Sydney, Australia, New Caledonia and Fiji. Indian Ocean, along the western coast of Malaysia and Indonesia, and at least in the Nicobars at the edge of the Andaman Sea. Evidently excluded from the oceanic mid-Pacific plate;

: 11 - 12. Juveniles and adults resemble their counterparts of
B. axillaris
, but juveniles have yellow rather than white spots and adults have well-defined black band between the light and dark portions of the body and lack ocelli on the dorsal and anal fins. Color of juveniles changes completely to adult pattern when about 5-6 cm long. The change takes only a few weeks and intermediates are rarely seen (Ref.
48636
).
Ranging into subtropical zones as juveniles expatriate caused by warm currents during pelagic stage (Ref.
48636
). Adults inhabit coral-rich outer reef slopes at depths of 5 to over 20 m, particularly near caves. Juveniles in caves; adults swim openly about, but usually close to the substrate, and often engage in cleaning larger fishes (Ref.
48636
). Oviparous, distinct pairing during breeding (Ref.
205
).
