This species is native to the Western Atlantic, particularly from the Bahamas and Florida down to Central America. The Butter hamlet has a typical hamlet shape with a somewhat elongated body and features distinguishing it from similar species largely by its uniform color. It is not prominently known in the aquarium hobby, mostly due to its relative rarity and specific care requirements.
