The Three-spined cardinalfish (Apogonops anomalus) is a species of fish in the family Acropomatidae, the temperate ocean-basses or lanternbellies. It is endemic to the marine waters off of Australia. [3] Another name for this species of fish is Flathead feed. [4]
This fish occurs as deep as 600 metres (2,000 ft), but usually stays between 100 and 400 metres (330 and 1,310 ft). It grows to a length of 15 centimetres (5.9 in) SL. [2]
Hector's lanternfish (Lampanyctodes hectoris) is an important part of its diet. [5]
Some authorities consider Apogonops to be a synonym of Verilus. [1]
