Northwestern Pacific; southern Japan, Taiwan, Philippines, and Palau; 12 cm; not
common
Very common in certain areas of Tokara Islands, southern Kagoshima, just north of
Amami Oshima, and Izu Islands and fairly common throughout southern Japan, but
extremely rare in Palau; usually swims upside down in caves or under rocks, and tiny
juveniles are too secretive to find; smaller specimens often seen in shops but recent
shipments include many tiny juveniles of 1-1.5 cm long, probably due to successful
aquaculture somewhere, but these juveniles will command a very high price; first
described based upon Japanese specimen, as a member of Holacanthus and next
Cen ropyge, and later Sumireyakko (Sumireyakko is a Japanese name) but finally
Paracentropyge; fairly easy to keep but often dies soon after introduction
