Millet butterflyfish stripe runs from above the eye to the base of the operculum, and there is a large black patch on the caudal peduncle. This fish is endemic to the Hawaiian Islands and the Johnston Atoll, and is found down to depths of at least . Its habitats include coastal fringing reefs, outer reefs and lagoons. The millet butterflyfish is a schooling species found in mid-water that feeds on zooplankton. It also feeds opportunistically on polychaete worms and other small invertebrates on the seabed. Food is drawn into the mouth by rapid suction. It does not seem to be territorial but
Caudal cell mass The cavities formed from the initial and secondary neuralation combine to form one uninterrupted cavity. There is still specualtion on the formation of the caudall cell mass in humans with arguments being made for it arising from many cavities or the continuing growth of the neurocele from the initial neuralation. The caudal cell mass will ultimately differentiate and form into many sacral structures such various nerve endings and the conus medullaris. The caudal cell mass plays a role in many diseases and abnomalities related to the spinal cord. One group of abnormalities it plays a role in are occult spinal
