The broadstriped cardinalfish (Ostorhinchus angustatus) is a pale cardinalfish with five dark stripes and a black spot on its tail base.
It shelters in crevices by day and feeds on small invertebrates at night. The male broods the eggs in its mouth.
In the Philippines it is found on reefs and rocky areas.
