Etymology: Apogon: Greek, a = without + Greek pogon = chin, beard (Ref. 45335); robbyi: Named after Dr. C. Richard ('Robby') Robins.
Eponymy: Dr Charles Richard ‘Dick’ Robins (1928–2020) (See Robins, CH & CR) (Ref. 128868), visit book page.

Environment: milieu / climate zone / depth range / distribution range Ecology
Marine; demersal; depth range 1 - 30 m (Ref. 26883). Tropical
Distribution Countries | FAO areas | Ecosystems | Occurrences | Point map | Introductions | Faunafri
Western Central Atlantic: Belize, Nicaragua and Jamaica.
Size / Weight / Age
Found in a wide variety of habitats, including grass flats, partially open sand bottoms around the bases of finger and globose sponges, tentacles of anemones, inside live conch shells, and around coral reefs and high relief structures such as artificial reefs (Ref. 26883). Presumably, striped cardinalfish leaves its daytime hovering places to forage over grass and sand flats at night (Ref. 26883).

Estimates based on models
Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 27.2 - 28.2, mean 27.8 °C (based on 338 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD50 = 0.5000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01445 (0.00680 - 0.03071), b=3.07 (2.89 - 3.25), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278): 3.3 ±0.4 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Resilience (Ref. 120179): High, minimum population doubling time less than 15 months (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Low vulnerability (10 of 100).
