Scientific Name: |
Cephalopholis formosa
|
Family/Order/Class: |
Serranidae (Sea basses: groupers and fairy basslets)
subFamily Epinephelinae /
Perciformes / Actinopterygii (ray-finned fishes) |
Common Name: |
Bluelined hind |
|
Distribution: |
Indo-West Pacific: western India to Philippines, north to southern Japan (Honshu), south to northern Australia. 'Epinephelus formosus' from Madagascar (Ref. 6457), Réunion and Mauritius (Ref. 6458) are probably based on misidentifications of Cephalopholis polleni. Confused with Cephalopholis boenak. |
Climate: |
tropical; 40°N - 25°S |
Environment: |
reef-associated; marine; depth range 10 - 30 m |
Description: |
Like C. boenak, it prefers shallow dead or silty reefs and this may account for the primarily continental distributions of these two species. |
