Cardinals are mostly nocturnal plankton feeders, and while some are extremely common and form large conspicuous groups often around reefs during the day, some hide during the day and may therefore be infrequently seen. There are reported species for which we do not yet have photos. Unless otherwise noted, sizes given are maximum sizes for the species listed in Fishbase, not necessarily the size of the figured specimen.
