Description
The Freckled Driftfish (*Psenes pellucidus*) is a pelagic marine fish found in tropical and subtropical oceans worldwide. Juveniles often associate with jellyfish for protection and food. Due to its large adult size and specialized pelagic lifestyle, it is rarely kept in home aquariums and is better suited for public aquariums.
