Description
The Cale Cale Trevally (Ulua mentalis) is a large, fast-moving predatory marine fish found throughout the Indo-Pacific. Known for its deep body and silvery coloration, it is a schooling species that hunts smaller fish and crustaceans in open water. Due to its significant adult size and active nature, it is exclusively suited for very large public aquariums.
