Thanks Harro,
After Lindsay Warren's record of an animal from Madagascar, I predicted this species was probably widespread throughout the Indo-West Pacific so your record from the Red Sea pretty much allows us to say it is widespread throughout the Indian Ocean and so confirms its wide distribution.
Best wishes
