Environment: milieu / climate zone / depth range / distribution range
Ecology
Marine; reef-associated; depth range 2 - 104 m (Ref. 58302). Tropical
Eastern Pacific: known only from Hawaii.
Once considered a pan-Indo-Pacific species, but now confined to the Hawaiian Islands and forms a species complex with the following in the Pacific: Pseudojuloides splendens (Japan to Australia and most South Pacific area); P. polynesica (Fr. Polynesia and Line islands; P. pyrius (endemic to the Marquesas Islands); in the Indian Ocean P. xanthomos (Mauritius); P. polackorum (South Africa to Madagascar); and P. kaleidos (Eastern Indian Ocean).

Estimates based on models
Preferred temperature (Ref.
123201): 24.3 - 28.3, mean 26.8 °C (based on 79 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref.
82804): PD
50 = 0.5000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00977 (0.00466 - 0.02049), b=3.07 (2.90 - 3.24), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref.
93245).
Trophic level (Ref.
69278): 3.3 ±0.4 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Resilience (Ref.
120179): High, minimum population doubling time less than 15 months (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref.
59153): Low vulnerability (10 of 100).
Nutrients (Ref.
124155): Calcium = 296 [125, 839] mg/100g; Iron = 1.04 [0.47, 2.49] mg/100g; Protein = 17.6 [14.5, 19.9] %; Omega3 = 0.258 [0.106, 0.623] g/100g; Selenium = 14.8 [4.6, 43.1] μg/100g; VitaminA = 950 [158, 5,633] μg/100g; Zinc = 3.91 [2.09, 7.13] mg/100g (wet weight);
