Distribution

Thor manningi has an amphiamerican distribution, found in shallow coastal regions of the Western Atlantic,[4] including off the coast of South Carolina in the United States,[5] and the East Pacific.[6]

Reproduction

Thor manningi is a trioecious species with males, females and protandrous hermaphrodites.[7] Individuals approaching sex change have a mixture of male and female characteristics.[8] In this species 50% of the population are males, 49% protandric hermaphrodites, and 1% are females.[9]
