Apogon imberbis (Cardinalfish)



Cardinalfish are very frequent along the entire Costa Brava.  Here, they rarely exceed 4" in length (10 cm) and disappear into cracks and holes in their calcareous habitat.  Here, in Catalonia, they're also called "tres colas" (three tails, in English).  Normally, they're found in shallower waters, that is, less than 66 feet (20 meters), and rarely out in the open.  They stay near rocky formations for protection, among other reasons.
