Indo-Pacific: Persian Gulf (Ref.80050), Red Sea and East Africa (Ref. 3141) to the Hawaiian and Tuamoto islands, north to Ryukyu Islands, south to Lord Howe Island.
The Red Sea population differs slightly in coloration and has been known as Ostracion argus.
Closely related to Ostracion immaculatum from southern Japan. Southeast Atlantic: south coast of South Africa (Ref. 3141).
印度-太平洋: 紅海與東非 (參考文獻 3141) 到夏威夷與 Tuamoto 島, 北至琉球群島, 南至羅得豪島。 紅海族群在顏色差異很小而且過去被稱為 Ostracion argus; 與來自日本南部的 Ostracion immaculatus 親源相近。 東南大西洋: 南非的南部海岸.(參考文獻 3141)

生物學特性     字彙 (例如 epibenthic)

Inhabit lagoon and semi-sheltered seaward reefs. Juveniles often among Acropora corals (Ref. 9710). Benthopelagic (Ref. 58302). Solitary (Ref. 5503). Juveniles expatriating to subtropical zone from the pelagic larval stage. Small juveniles secretive in narrow crevices (Ref. 48637). Feed primarily on algae with a compliment of microorganisms, invertebrates, mollusks, sponges (Ref. 5503), sand dwelling polychaetes, crustaceans, foraminiferans, and fishes (Ref. 37816).

棲息於潟湖與半掩蔽的臨海礁石。 稚魚常見於 Acropora 珊瑚之中。 (參考文獻 9710) 獨居性.(參考文獻 5503) 對亞熱帶的區域從大洋性幼魚時期的稚魚 expatriating。 小的稚魚躲躲藏藏的在狹窄的裂隙中.(參考文獻 48637) 主要捕食藻類也吃微生物,無脊椎動物,軟體動物,海綿 (參考文獻 5503) ,住在沙中的多毛類動物,甲殼動物,有孔蟲與魚.(參考文獻 37816)
