Distribution
Description
Known from Banda Sea, with similar individuals from in Australia, Phillipines, and Japan awaiting genetic confirmation. Body mostly red with dark spot at caudal fin base, and white line running along the dorsal surface. Eye solid red with white stripe along the upper margin of the pupil, partially connecting to a short white stripe extending just behind the eye. Another white stripe extends from snout, across interorbital area, onto the top of the head.
Information
Max Size: 4 cm
Sea Temperature Range: 25.5-30.6°C
Depth: N/A
Habitat Generalization Index: N/A
Also referred to as the SGI (Species Generalisation Index), this describes the habitat niche breadth of the species. Species with values less than 15 are found in a relatively narrow range of reef habitat types (specialists), while those over 25 may be found on most hard substrates within their range (generalists).

Conservation and Rarity
IUCN Status: Not Evaluated
Occurrence: Infrequent (3.0% of sites)
Occurrence describes how often the species is found on surveys within its distribution. It is calculated as the % of reef sites surveyed by RLS divers across all the ecoregions in which the species has been observed
Abundance: Several (8 per transect)
Abundance is calculated as the average number of individuals recorded per RLS transect, where present.
