Etymology: Bodianus: Bodianus after Bodiano or Pudiano, from the Portuguese pudor, meaning modesty (Jordan & Evermann, 1896).;  dictynna: Named for Dictynna, another name of Diana(goddess of the chase and the moon), in recognition of the extreme similarity and close relationship of this species with B. diana..

Biology     Glossary (e.g. epibenthic)

Reported to be almost always associated with living coral reefs and juveniles are often found near black coral and gorgonians (Ref. 75973). Juveniles often shelter near black corals and gorgonians; also frequent cave ceilings (Ref. 8631). Feed mainly on benthic invertebrates such as mollusks and crustaceans. Juveniles regularly remove parasites from other fishes (Ref. 48636). Oviparous, distinct pairing during breeding (Ref. 205).

Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 24.1 - 28.9, mean 27.6 °C (based on 446 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804):  PD50 = 0.5000   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01202 (0.00551 - 0.02625), b=3.05 (2.87 - 3.23), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this Genus-body shape (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278):  3.5   ±0.48 se; based on food items.
Resilience (Ref. 120179):  High, minimum population doubling time less than 15 months (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153):  Low vulnerability (10 of 100).
Nutrients (Ref. 124155):  Calcium = 78.6 [46.6, 133.3] mg/100g; Iron = 0.691 [0.408, 1.281] mg/100g; Protein = 18.4 [15.5, 20.5] %; Omega3 = 0.178 [0.113, 0.275] g/100g; Selenium = 29.2 [17.0, 50.9] μg/100g; VitaminA = 158 [48, 605] μg/100g; Zinc = 1.67 [1.15, 2.61] mg/100g (wet weight);
