Etymology: Bodianus: Bodianus after Bodiano or Pudiano, from the Portuguese pudor, meaning modesty (Jordan & Evermann, 1896); anthioides: Name from the Greek masculine noun 'anthias', a common name for members of the anthiine serranid fishes, and 'oides' for having the form of, refers to the similarity of this species to various anthiine species (Ref. 75973).

Maturity: Lm ? range ? - ? cm
Max length : 24.0 cm SL male/unsexed; (Ref. 1602)
Adults inhabit seaward reefs. They occur on reefs rich with invertebrates such as gorgonians, seawhips and black corals (Ref. 48636). Common along steep outer reef slopes deeper than 25 m in Micronesia. Usually seen as lone individuals (Ref. 48636). Juveniles pose as cleaners (Ref. 8631). May be solitary or may exist in pairs (Ref. 5503). Oviparous, distinct pairing during breeding (Ref. 205). Maximum depth reported taken from Ref. 128797.
