Remarks. A relatively deep-living and rare species represented by only a few specimens in collections. Also recorded by video taken on deep SCUBA dives at Green Island, southwestern Taiwan. Gymnothorax hepaticus does not occur outside the Indian Ocean, and previous records of that species from Taiwan may refer to G. albimarginatus .
