Myripristis vittata is a soldierfish from the Indo-Pacific.

It grows to a size of 25 centimeters in length or about 9.8 inches.[2] This species is usually found in small groups and sometimes forms large schools.[3][4]

Distribution and habitat[edit]

Myripristis vittata is recorded to live in the areas of Indo-Pacific, mainly from oceanic islands, from the Mascarene Islands and Seychelles to French Polynesia, and the Hawaiian Islands.[3][5] Myripristis vittata is found in marine environments within reef-associated areas. They occupy the depth range of about 3 – 80 meters, but more specifically this species stays in the depth range of about 15 – 80 meters. This species is native to a tropical environment. They are recorded to swim upside down occasionally. This species is nocturnal and it feeds on plankton.[3]
