Color
Silvery, with a bluish shine, with around 23-29 golden horizontal lines along the body, dorsal lines above lateral line curved along the lateral line. Golden streak beneath eye from snout to behind anterior edge of eye. Fins grey or slightly darker grey than body color. Can appear silvery or grey if the light is at an odd angle.
Etymology
Kyphosus: from Greek, kyphos = bent, a hump.
vaigiensis: come from the word Waigiou or Waigeo, the biggest Raja Ampat island, in Indonesia.
Original description: Pimelepterus vaigiensis Quoy & Gaimard, 1825 - Type locality: Waigiou, Pulau Waigeo, Papua Barat, Indonesia, western Pacific.
Distribution
Western Atlantic including Caribbean Sea; Eastern Atlantic: including São Tomé and Principe; Red Sea; Indo-Pacific: East Africa, South Africa, Socotra, Madagascar and Réunion (Mascarenes) east to Hawaiian Islands, Line Islands and Marquesas Islands, north to Japan, south to Western Australia, New South Wales (Australia), New Caledonia, northern New Zealand, Kermadec Islands, Tonga and Rapa; Eastern Pacific.
Biology
Aggregate over hard, algal coated bottoms of exposed surf-swept outer reef flats, lagoons, and seaward reefs. Found in exposed areas around rocky reefs. Benthopelagic. Usually in groups. Young (up to 5 cm) found among floating seaweed; feeding on small crustaceans. Adults are carnivorous during summer and autumn but feed on Petalonia binghamiae ((J.Agardh) K.L.Vinogradova, 1973) during winter. Good food fish.
