The females are pale pinkish grey with a black band over the eye and a black band on the upper and lower margins of the caudal fin.

Genicanthus caudovittatus is distributed in western Indian Ocean where it occurs along the eastern coast of Africa from the Red Sea in the north to KwaZulu-Natal in South Africa, east to Madagascar, Maldives, Mauritius, and Réunion. It has also been recorded from Weh Island off northwestern Sumatra.[4]
Habitat and biology

Systematics
Genicanthus caudovittatus was first formally described in 1860 as Holocanthus caudovittatus by the German-born British ichthyologist and herpetologist Albert Günther (1830–1914) with the type locality given as Mauritius.[6] The specific name is a compound of caudus meaning “tail” and vittatus meaning “banded”, referring to the black markings on the tail.[7]
Utilisation
Genicanthus caudovittatus occasionally appears in the aquarium trade.[4]
