Info

Allen, 1993

Very special thanks for the first two photos of Odontoscion xanthops to Dr. Gerry R. Allen and Dr. Mark Erdmann from Australia, the photo was taken the photos at Papau-Neuguinea.

This cardinalfish inhabits sheltered waters of lagoons and coastal inlets where it is often seen in groups of approximately 30-40 individuals, hovering over pocilloporid coral Seriatopora hystrix.
