Description Description: arm length to 14 cm, disc diameter to 1 cm. Disc surface with or without scattered stumps, but lthe arge radial shields always bare. Aboral arm plates broader than long, distal side convex or straigth, laterodistal angles bent backwards, broadest at about the middle of the plate. Distal edge of oral arm plates straight. Arm spines as long as or slightly longer than bredth of the segment. Colour variable, from evenly dark bluish to banded orange and cream. Arms variegated or uniformly blue with darker bands of 3-4 segments. Habitat: in rock crevices and among coral.
Also distributed in Lakshadweep (India) in Sastry (1991); Australia (Rowe & Gates, 1995); Andaman Is. (Sastry, 1997).
General distribution: tropical, Indo-west Pacific Ocean, depth intertidal-80 m. (Rowe & Gates, 1995); W Indian Ocean, Red Sea to W Pacific Ocean (Richmond, 1998); East coast of Africa to western Pacific Ocean.
Ecology: benthic, inshore (Rowe & Gates, 1995). [details]
