Description
Aseraggodes diringeri, also known as Diringer's Sole, is a small, camouflaged flatfish found in the Western Pacific. It is a benthic species that buries itself in sandy or silty substrates, relying on its mottled coloration for concealment. This carnivorous sole preys on small invertebrates, making it a unique and interesting addition to a specialized marine aquarium.
