Pacific Ocean: from the Line Is. and islands of French Polynesia to the western Pacific. where it is reported from the Great Barrier Reef, New Caledonia, Vanuatu, and Indonesia (from underwater photographs in Flores and Gunung Api in the Banda Sea. The species is also found in the eastern Indian Ocean at Christmas I., the Cocos-Keeling Is. (in addition to the paratypes from this locality, 1 nontype specimen is reported from the Western Australian Museum (WAM P.29064-002, 64 mm SL) and 2 from Cartier I. in the Timor Sea (Ref. 82288).
Length at first maturity / Size / Weight / Age
Maturity: Lm 5.0, range 4 - 5.2 cm
Max length : 8.8 cm SL male/unsexed; (Ref. 82288); 5.6 cm SL (female)
Max length : 8.8 cm SL male/unsexed; (Ref. 82288); 5.6 cm SL (female)
Found solitary usually on outer slopes of reefs 1-35 m deep. Formerly identified as H. ornatissimus which is restricted to Hawaiian Islands and Johnston Island (Ref. 90102).
Life cycle and mating behavior Maturity | Reproduction | Spawning | Eggs | Fecundity | Larvae
Distinct pairing. Males build dish shaped nest and guard eggs (Ref. 205). Size at sex change may begin from 5.4 cm SL (Ref. 82288).

Estimates based on models
Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 24.7 - 29, mean 27.5 °C (based on 362 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD50 = 0.5000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00977 (0.00468 - 0.02039), b=3.09 (2.92 - 3.26), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this Genus-body shape (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278): 3.4 ±0.5 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Low vulnerability (10 of 100).
Nutrients (Ref. 124155): Calcium = 289 [150, 593] mg/100g; Iron = 1.18 [0.58, 2.50] mg/100g; Protein = 16.5 [13.6, 18.6] %; Omega3 = 0.171 [0.079, 0.363] g/100g; Selenium = 42.8 [18.2, 99.8] μg/100g; VitaminA = 72.1 [16.7, 309.3] μg/100g; Zinc = 2.32 [1.47, 3.77] mg/100g (wet weight);
