It occurs in the Indian ocean and tropicalWestern and Central Pacific, but is considered tobe uncommon to rare, except in coral reef environs,throughout its range. It is classified as Vulnerablein the IUCN Red List owing to its natural rarity incoastal seas and substantial decline in populationswherever it is fished in coral reef regions.
