The green-striped coral bream, Scaevius milii, is a species of threadfin bream native to the western Pacific Ocean. An inhabitant of reefs, this species can be found down to about 20 metres (66 ft). This species grows to a length of 20 cm (7.9 in), though most are only about 15 cm (5.9 in). This species is only of minor importance to local commercial fisheries, and is the only known member of its genus.[1]
