Etymology: Choerodon: Greek, choiros = a pig + odous = teeth (Ref. 45335); referrring to the prominent anterior canines of the species in this genus (Ref. 116605).
Environment: milieu / climate zone / depth range / distribution range
Écologie
marin récifal; profondeur 15 - 40 m (Ref. 86942). Tropical
Western Pacific: Philippines, Queensland, Australia to New Caledonia.
Taille / Poids / Âge
Maturity: Lm ?  range ? - ? cm
Max length : 51.5 cm TL mâle / non sexé; (Ref. 5525)
Épines dorsales (Total) : 13; Rayons mous dorsaux (Total) : 7; Épines anales: 3; Rayons mous anaux: 10. Body with about 5 to 7 complete broad dusky bands. A distinct dark spot centered on lateral line along dusky band below fifth or sixth dorsal-fin spine. Adults with second prominent anterior canine approximately 1/2 the size of the first, directed mostly dorsally. (Ref 9823)
Adults inhabit lagoon and seaward reefs, usually on rubble and sand bottoms (Ref. 9710) at depths greater than 20 m. Solitary. Feed mainly on hard-shelled prey including crustaceans, mollusks and sea urchins. Oviparous, distinct pairing during breeding (Ref. 205). Relatively common and easily approached (Ref. 9710).
