Myripristis trachyacron, the East Indian soldierfish, is a small, rare, poorly-understood species of soldierfish belonging to the genus Myripristis. It can be found in the Western Pacific Ocean in Indonesia, Philippines, Papua New Guinea and the Solomon Islands.[2] It swims in small aggregations in current prone channels, at moderate slopes. It inhabits outer reef slopes. This species is easily mistaken for Myripristis vittata.[3]
