This species is native to the Western Pacific, particularly around reefs and lagoons. It has a typical cardinalfish appearance, with a relatively elongated body and large, prominent eyes. Despite its striking appearance, Apogon nigrofasciatus is not particularly well-known in the aquarium hobby, likely due to its specific habitat requirements and potential scarcity in trade.
