Cyerce pavonina is uncommon in the Marshalls, with specimens found at Kwajalein and Majuro Atolls. They typically live under large rocks on the top of the reef front on the leeward seaward reef at depths of 5 to 10 meters but can also be found on shallow lagoon reefs.
The next two photos show a specimen from Majuro Atoll by John and Lynette Flynn.
The large and smaller specimens below were found under a rock on Kwajalein Atoll's seaward reef at a depth of about 7m on 1 June 2009.
