Zoramia is a genus of small, peaceful marine fish known as Threadfin Cardinalfish, belonging to the family Apogonidae. These fish are nocturnal and often found in groups, hovering in sheltered lagoons and reef slopes. They are recognized for their elongated dorsal fin rays and striking color patterns, typically featuring silver bodies with vertical stripes. In the aquarium, they require a well-established environment with plenty of hiding places and a peaceful community.

Their calm demeanor and small size make them suitable for most reef aquariums.
