Siphamia tubifer, also known as the sea urchin cardinalfish, is a small (~7 cm) coral reef fish in the family Apogonidae.[1][2] Its geographic range extends from East Africa to the French Polynesian Islands.[3]
Details
During the day, the sea urchin cardinalfish hides among the spines of sea urchins, and it emerges to feed at night.[4] Male S. tubifer are mouthbrooders, holding their fertilized clutches of eggs in their mouths and releasing the larvae when they are in the preflexion stage.[5][6] This fish has a facultative symbiotic relationship with a bacterium, Photobacterium mandapamensis, which provides bioluminescence for the fish in a specialized light organ in its abdomen.[5]
Bioluminescence
S. tubifer is thought to acquire the bacteria through ingestion of seawater after its light organ has mostly developed.[7] The luminescence system primarily consists of a ventral light organ that holds the bacteria and a shutter lens in the abdomen. The fish can open and close this shutter at will, controlling the light that it emits.[8] One study showed that at twilight, S. tubifer left its urchin and luminesced to attract and feed on zooplankton near the ocean bottom.[8] Once completely dark again, it stopped emitting light and returned.
