Selenanthias myersi is a species of fish in the family Serranidae, a family that includes the sea basses, the groupers and fairy basslets. It is native to the tropical western and central Pacific Ocean. [3]
The standard length of this fish is 8.7 cm (3.4 in). [4]
Selenanthias myersi is known from three locations in the northwestern Pacific Ocean; two locations in the South China Sea and one in the Northern Mariana Islands. It is a demersal fish and it occurs on reefs in the depth range between 110 and 220 m (360 and 720 ft). [1]
As a small, deep water reef species, Selenanthias myersi is not of interest to fisheries. No particular threats are known and it is likely that it occurs in a wider range of locations than is currently known. The International Union for Conservation of Nature has assessed its status as being of "least concern". [1]
