Yellow cardinalfish
Inhabits sheltered clearwater areas of lagoon and seaward reefs. Aggregates under ledges, in holes, or even among spines of sea urchins. Feeds on planktonic crustaceans and small invertebrates by day and night
Very special thanks for the first two photo to Brent Tibbats (Guam) and Mark Rosenstein (Australia) :-)
