Subtropical, preferred ?

Distribution

Indo-West Pacific: India to China and off Cambodia (Ref. 9912). Photo records from Komodo, Indonesia (Seret, pers.comm. 01/15). Conservation status maybe of concern in Northwest Pacific because of its inshore benthic habitat, low abudance, and the presence of intensive demersal fisheries (Ref. 47737).
