Ostorhinchus capricornis Ostorhinchus capricornis Ostorhinchus capricornis, also known as the Capricorn cardinalfish, is a species of ray-finned fish, a cardinalfish from the family Apogonidae which occurs around reefs in the western Pacific Ocean. "Ostorhinchus capricornis" is dusky yellow in colour, this lightens to bronze or golden yellow on the ventral surfave. It has a black spot around the caudal peduncle and it has two "neon" blue stripes which run through the eye, the lower stripe extending to the posterior edge of the operculum. It grows to a maximum standard length of . It is similar to the yellow cardinalfish ("Ostorhinchus flavus") but
Sessility (motility) organisms, in which individuals of a particular species group closely to one another for beneficial purposes, and can be seen in coral reefs and cochineal populations. This allows for faster reproduction and better protection from predators. The circa littoral zone of coastal environments and biomes are dominated by sessile organisms such as oysters. Carbonate platforms grow due to the buildup of skeletal remains of sessile organisms, usually microorganisms, which induce carbonate precipitation through their metabolism. In anatomy and botany, "sessility" refers to an organism or biological structure that has no "peduncle" or stalk. See Peduncle (anatomy), Peduncle (botany) and Sessility
