Sentosa Oceanarium, Singapore. 11-11-2025.
Unsigned cardinalfish in the silver mooney tank in the 'Singapore's Coast' section.
Looks to me like Fibramia lateralis, and that would match geographically. Thoughts?
Either Fibramia lateralis or Fibramia ceramensis. However it seems F. ceramensis is often considered a synonym of F. lateralis. The leftmost fish and second from the right fish are a different species though, Yarica hylaosoma.
 
@ralph Apogon ceramensis is the same thing as far as I can tell. Members of Fibramia were formerly included in Apogon (along with some other genera like Ostorhinchus), but for some reason Eschmeyer's Catalog of Fishes (the taxonomy that iNaturalist follows for fish) moved lateralis to Fibramia but not ceramensis (they should be included in the same genus as they are possibly synonyms, and even if not synonyms they are clearly very closely allied species).
