Abstract

This article provides general information on habitat, behavior, and conservation status of Anisotremus moricandi and reinforces its distribution to the western Atlantic. The species inhabits rocky reefs with low coralline overgrowth and it is found in reef crevices in small groups or solitary individuals. The distribution of A. moricandi seems to be discontinuous occurring in the coasts of Panama (Caribbean side), Aruba, Colombia, Orchila Island (Venezuela) and in Brazil (from Ceará State to Espírito Santo State).Este artigo fornece informações gerais acerca do habitat, comportamento e estado de conservação de Anisotremus moricandi e reforça sua distribução no Atlântico Ocidental. A espécie habita recifes rochosos com baixo crecimento coralino e é encontrada em fendas do recife em pequenos grupos ou solitária. A distribuição de A. moricandi parece ser descontínua, ocorrendo nas costas do Panamá (lado Caribenho), Aruba, Colômbia, Ilha Orquila (Venezuela) e no Brasil (do Ceará ao Espírito Santo).
