The Mimic cardinalfish lives in the reef-associated, marine, depth range 2 - 12 m environment.
In addition, the mimic cardinalfish also mimics the behavior of the black-lined blenny. It makes itself active during daytime, darting about in search of small fish for food. This is an unusual behavior because most cardinalfish hover motionless around coral heads and caves during the day. More
