Ostorhinchus hoevenii (Bleeker, 1854)
Apogon Hoeveni is widespread in the Indo-Pacific. From India in the west to Japan in the east, south to the north coast of Australia, often in fluids of river and protected bays with a light and soft surface.
The body color is usually a light yellow to beige, sometimes with light sprinkles or stains. The first part of the dorsal fin is always black and brown, the dorsal fin itself has a white, outer edge. All other fins are translucent.
It occurs in small groups between corals, sea urchins, crinoids and algae. This cardinal fish can also be found between the Diadema family, in which they are looking for protection against predators.
The species name "Hoeveni" honors the Dutch zoologist Jan van der Hoeven (1801-1868)
From time to time this beautiful cardinal finds its way into the aquarium trade.
