The Pennant Bannerfish is found in the Indo-Pacific region, from the Red Sea to the Marshall Islands, and from southern Japan to Australia. It is common in coral-rich areas of subtidal reef flats and lagoon and seaward reefs. Juveniles solitary and usually found in estuaries and lagoons; adults usually in pairs.
