Etymology: Caesio: Latin, caesius, bluish-grey, 1835; it is the same name given to the silvery metal (Cs) (Ref. 45335).

Ambiente: milieu / zona climática / intervalo de profundidade / gama de distribuição
Ecologia
marinhas associadas(os) a recifes; não migratória; intervalo de profundidade 0 - 50 m (Ref. 402). Tropical; 23°N - 28°S, 32°E - 132°E (Ref. 94071)
Indian Ocean: East Africa (not including the Red Sea and the Arabian (Persian) Gulf) to Indonesia. Records of this species from the Marshall Islands and Australia are probably misidentifications of Caesio teres.
