Etymology: Halichoeres: Greek, als, alis = salt + Greek, choiros = pig (Ref. 45335).

Ecologia
marino associati a barriera corallina; distribuzione batimetrica 5 - 15 m (Ref. 90102). Tropical
Indo-West Pacific: known at present only from Sri Lanka to Indonesia. Male Halichoeres nebulosus and Halichoeres margaritaceus have always been misidentified as Halichoeres kawarin, which may be responsible for attributing a greater range to this species.

Short description
Chiavi di identificazione | Morfologia | Morfometria
Identified by cheek and body patterns. Most similar to H. binotopsis and is best distinguished by the more angular versus horizontal cheek lines (Ref. 48636).
Found in shallow coastal reefs, mainly rock substrates with soft coral and algal growth. Occurs in small loose groups dominated by a large male (Ref. 48636). May also be found solitary (Ref. 90102).
