Info

Siphamia randalli is a species of ray-fish in the cardinalfish family (Apogonidae).
The scientific name of the species was first validly published by Gon & Allen in 2012.

Photos of living cardinalfishes of this species are lacking, as are details about the biology of the fish.

This species is named randalli in honor of Dr. John E. Randall (b. May 22, 1924 - April 26, 2020 †) of Honolulu, Hawaii'i, for his numerous and notable contributions to our knowledge of the taxonomy of reef fishes. Jack, as he is called by friends and colleagues, is a true inspiration to all ichthyologists
