The Three-spined cardinalfish (Verilus anomalus) is a species of ray-finned fish in the family Malakichthyidae. 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.[1]
Hector's lanternfish (Lampanyctodes hectoris) is an important part of its diet.[5]
It was formerly placed in the monotypic genus Apogonops, which is now considered a synonym of Verilus.[1][2]
