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
Caudal luring are a number of other behavioural interpretations for a wiggling appendage, and luring-like motions are associated with several other behavioural contexts (e.g., defence, stress, etc.). Caudal luring is thought to have evolved from a caudally localised intention movement (a behaviour derived from locomotor movements). Essentially, the act of remaining stationary while sensing prey produces general nervous system excitation that gets released in the form of tail movements. Caudal luring is not merely tail undulations, but must specifically be attractive to prey. Caudal distraction is another behaviour used by snakes, and the tail motions are very similar to caudal luring. The
