Verilus anomalus, the three-spined cardinalfish, 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 .[1]
This fish occurs as deep as 600 metres (2,000 ft), but usually stays between 100 to 400 metres (330 to 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.[3]
