Ökologie
seewasser riff-verbunden; tiefenbereich 6 - 22 m (Ref. 11890). Tropical
Western Central Pacific: Philippines and Malaysia south to Indonesia and Papua New Guinea. Probably occurs widely in the Indo-Malay and Melanesian archipelagos but has thus far escaped detection because of its small size and cryptic behavior.
