Zoramia fragilis (Smith, 1961)
Fragile
cardinalfish, 55mm

The first two photos were taken by Jay Lord inside a small shipwreck in the ski boat area on the lagoon side of Kwajalein Island.

This is a rather low resolution shot through the video camera, taken on an eastern Kwajalein Atoll shallow reef. It seems to most resemble Zoramia fragilis. However, the black spot in front of the tail seems too large, possibly pointing to Taeniamia fucata, although the resolution of the video still is not quite enough to be certain.
