Found usually in schools among branching coral branches, often together with other cardinal fish species (Banggai or Coral cardinal fish). Like many of the cardinal fish its colour fades at dusk and night, therefore best time to photograph this species is during day, when the colours are most vivid. Easily recognised by its unusual coloration of red eyes, spotted front and striped tail area.

Usually found in large numbers among branching corals on shallow reefs. Juveniles can be often seen hiding among sea urchin spines or in anemones. The lack of corals at many of Lembeh divesites forces this species to inhabit large anemones rather than corals. It is a male brooding species. Female deposits large eggs into the male's mouth where the young hatch and remain for some time.
