Looks like
Western-striped Cardinalfish have broad brownish-red stripes with an extra stripe on the front body between the second and third stripes. There is a distinct black spot at the base of the pectoral fin and a large black spot at the base of the tail on the caudal peduncle. The fins are pink to coppery red. The mouth is large and the male incubates fertilised eggs in his mouth.
They grow to 14cms in length.
Western-striped Cardinalfish are popular in the aquarium trade.
Western-striped Cardinalfish are endemic to Western Australia, found from Cape Leeuwin to Shark Bay.
