Description
The Deepsea Sole is a flatfish species found in the cold, dark waters of the deep sea. It possesses excellent camouflage, blending with the sandy or muddy seafloor where it hunts small benthic invertebrates. This species is not suitable for typical home aquariums due to its specialized deep-sea habitat requirements.
