Its bright coloration, with yellow eyes and a black bandit mask, make it a popular species in the aquarium trade. The Yellow Eye Cardinalfish is nocturnal and feeds on a variety of small organisms, including plankton and small fish. They are shoaling fish that exhibit social behavior and can be territorial. The species is an egg layer, with planktonic larvae that are important in predator-prey relationships and the food chain of coral reef ecosystems. Despite being a popular species in the aquarium trade, conservation efforts are necessary to ensure sustainable fishing practices and protect the marine biodiversity of coral reefs.

$Speckled Damselfish Pomacentrus bankanensis occurs in the Western Pacific from Christmas Island in the eastern Indian Ocean to Fiji, north to southern Japan, south to Rowley Shoals and Scott Reef in the Eastern Indian Ocean and New Caledonia. Since 2004 the species is recorded from Tonga. \nAdults occur solitarily or in small groups in lagoons, reef flats, passages, and outer reef slopes, usually amongst coarse rubble or rock, feeding primarily on pelagic materials, such as copepods, isopods, and pelagic tunicates. Distinct pairing is observed. Males guard and aerate the eggs. \nThis juvenile specimen does obviously not camouflage, but the opposite: dramatic colouration, known as aposematism, is a warning: unpalatability and toxicity - both prey and predator get to live longer. In this case its just a good bluff.\nKraka Island, Banda Sea, Indonesia, 4°30'10.6682 S 129°53'17.6959 E at 4m depth$
