This fish occurs around offshore islands in the Indo-Pacific region. It occasionally makes its way into the aquarium trade. 
Description.
"Cephalopholis polleni" has a body depth which is shorter than the length of its head, the standard length being 2.7 to 3.1 times the depth. It has a slightly truncated caudal fin and a finely serrated, rounded preopercle. The maxilla reached beyond the back of the eye. There are 9 spines in the dorsal fin and 14-16 soft rays, while the anal fin has 3 spines and 8-9 soft rays. This is a yellow to greenish-yellow grouper which is covered in bright blue stripes.

It has not been recorded from the Red Sea, the eastern African coast, Sri Lanka, continental Australia and the major islands of Indonesia. In Australia it has been recorded from Christmas Island and Cocos (Keeling) Island.

"Cephalopholis polleni" occurs around oceanic islands where it can be found in clear waters in the vicinity of steep drop-offs and it is infrequently recorded from depths of less than and has been taken as deep as , possibly occurring at even greater depths. It is frequently observed in caves and under overhangs where it swims upside-down against the roofs of caves or archways.
