Template:Short description Template:Speciesbox
The orbiculate cardinalfish, chubby cardinal, or polka-dot cardinalfish (Sphaeramia orbicularis)[1] is a species of Apogonidae (cardinalfishes). It grows to about 10 cm total length, and has a thin, dark vertical 'waistband' with scattered dark spots toward the tail. It is found in coastal areas throughout much of the Indo-Pacific, including off East Africa, Kiribati, the Ryukyu Islands, New Caledonia, Belau, and the eastern Caroline and Mariana Islands.[1]
The male incubates the eggs until they hatch.[1] It eats mostly planktonic crustaceans, mainly at night.[1] It is not a common marine aquarium fish.[2]
