Description Colour in life: disc off-white but dominated by almost black markings, one major one along each pair of radial shields and 1-3 minor marks inter-radially, arms off-white with dark brown bands 1-3 segments wide both above and below, ventral surface of arms not darker distally as at Aldabra (Sloan et al., 1979). Humphreys 1981 <213>. Description: arm length to 7.5 cm, disc diameter to 1.5 cm. Disc scales concealed by granules with only the naked radial shields (large and oval) exposed. Colour pattern distinctive, including white, red, orange and green banding on arms, and green and white disc. Habitat: under coral in lagoons and shallow reef areas.
Also distributed in Gilbert Islands, Guam (Rowe & Gates, 1995); Ceylon, Bay of Bengal, East Indies, north Australia, Philippine, China, south Japan and South Pacific Is. (Clark & Rowe, 1971); Australia (Rowe & Gates, 1995).
General distribution: from East Africa to Polynesia (Tortonese, 1980); WIO to W Pacific (Richmond, 1998); tropical, Indo-west-central Pacific Ocean, depth range 0-39 m. (Rowe & Gates, 1995).
Ecology: benthic, inshore (Rowe & Gates, 1995). [details]
