Cardinalfish is any fish of the family Apogonidae, which consists of about 200 species of small nocturnal fish found in tropical and subtropical waters. Many of these fish live in shallow reefs and take shelter in the shells of living conchs. They can grow up to 20cm in length and are recognizable by their two dorsal fins and large mouth and eyes. Many are red but they can also be silvery, brownish or black.

Often seen in Pacific Ocean
