A species of wrasse native to the tropical waters of the Indo-Pacific from the Red Sea and the African coast to the Tuamotus and Hawaii, and from the southern waters of Japan to New Caledonia.
This species can be found on coral reefs at depths from 1 to 42 metres. In Queensland it is found along the entire length of the Great Barrier Reef.
The standard name of the Slingjaw Wrasse refers to the fish’s ability to protrude its mouth to capture prey such as crabs, shrimps and small fishes. When protruded the mouth can be up to half the body length.
