      Justification

      A large portion of this species' range occurs in the Coral Triangle where there has been widespread coral reef degradation. There are currently no data on its dietary requirements, but Chaetodon octofasciatus is strongly coral dependent. While no data are available on population trends, there are likely to have been declines in its abundance where coral cover has declined. Declines within the Coral Triangle have probably not substantially affected the global population. It is listed as Least Concern.

      Habitat and Ecology

      This species is most often found in areas of shallow, protected lagoons (often turbid and silty) and inner reefs with extensive coral growth. The adults are usually found alone or in pairs, and occasionally in small groups. Juveniles shelter amongst branching corals (genus Acropora). It is an obligate corallivore.

      Threats

      Biological resource use

      • Fishing & harvesting aquatic resources

      Climate change & severe weather

      • Habitat shifting & alteration

      Threats

      This species relies on live coral for food and/or recruitment, and may therefore decline in abundance following climate-induced coral depletion (Pratchett et al. 2008). There has been extensive coral reef degradation throughout the range of this species, but no data is available on population trends. There are no apparent major threats other than coral loss.

      Use and Trade

      Occasionally exported through the aquarium trade. Because of its coral diet, this species often starves when kept in captivity (Pyle 2001).

      Conservation Actions

      In-place land/water protection

      • Occurs in at least one protected area : Yes

      Conservation Actions

      There appear to be no species-specific conservation measures in place. This species is present within marine protected areas. Monitoring of this species is needed in conjunction with coral monitoring, as well as determination of the degree of co-dependence between this species and corals. Research is required to establish its specific dietary requirements and reliance on coral.
