Philippines Photo Gallery: Anilao cardinal fish

We took an underwater photography trip to the Philippines in December 2016. We returned in December 2024.

Cardinal fish are distinguished by their large mouths and the division of the dorsal fin into two separate fins. Male cardinal fish mouth-brood their eggs.
