Taeniamia melasma is a pale pinkish-gray cardinalfish with a black band under the eye, a large black spot above the upper rear edge of the gill cover, and numerous narrow orange stripes on the sides.
Fish of this cardinalfish's size are always suitable prey for predators. To avoid this danger as much as possible, it usually stays among branched Acropora corals in the sea.
In the event that Taeniamia melasma should become commercially available, it would therefore be advisable to keep larger branched Acropora corals in the reef aquarium so that the cardinalfish feel comfortable.
This would help them settle in, especially during the first few months.
