It is found in the South Pacific from Jervis Bay (New South Wales, Australia) to Easter Island.[2][1] It lives in lagoons and on rocky reefs, where it grows to lengths of 10–12 centimetres (3.9–4.7 in).[3] It is expected to feed on small crustaceans, similar to other pipefishes.[1] This species is ovoviviparous, with males carrying eggs before giving birth to live young.[3]
