We have been on several night dives, and one of the most interesting things that we saw was how small cardinalfish move out into the open, and up into the water column. During daylight hours, we only see them hiding under reef structures, but at night they come out to feed. Their eyes are adapted to the night light.
These photos were taken in 15 to 25 feet of water. Cardinalfish don't get much bigger than about 3 inches, but some of these were even smaller.
