Generally small fish, named after their usual red colouration – which is not normal around Koh Phangan it seems! Their big eyes are a clue to their nocturnal feeding habits; they tend to hide in the corals over the day but are much more active when we are out night diving.
Also known as the Orange-lined Cardinalfish.
