FBname: Deep reef whiptail
Comments: This species is seldom collected and occurs relatively deep (below 60 m) outer reef habitat. It was invariably observed at the base of 60-70 m reef drop-offs, swimming in small schools of 2-10 individuals and 1-2 m above the steeply-sloping sand, rubble and sea-fan substrate (Ref. 123129)
