棲地
provided by The Fish Database of Taiwan
主要棲息於近海珊瑚礁區，在臺灣的墾丁及離島一帶最多，是很常見的珊瑚礁魚類。日行性，活動在深度約5-20公尺處，甚至在潮池邊或淺淺的珊瑚礁斜坡外圍都很容易見到。雄魚體型通常比雌魚大些，且數量也比雌魚多，有時成群、有時單獨的游動在岩礁上方約1-2公尺水層，頂著水流覓食小型的浮游生物。
Blueside wrasse
provided by wikipedia EN
The blueside wrasse, Cirrhilabrus cyanopleura, is a species of wrasse native to the eastern Indian Ocean and the western Pacific Ocean. It is found on reefs in schools swimming 1 to 2 m (3.3 to 6.6 ft) above the bottom. It occurs at depths from 2 to 30 m (6.6 to 98.4 ft), most often between 5 and 20 m (16 and 66 ft). This species can reach a standard length of 15 cm (5.9 in). It can be found in the aquarium trade.[2]
It feeds on zooplankton. It may be relatively common but declining because of threats: blast fishing, sedimentation, pollution, collection for the aquarium trade and habitat loss of shallow reefs.
