Description

The Korean Bonefish, likely *Albula argentea*, is a sleek, silvery marine fish found in the Indo-Pacific. Known for its powerful swimming and elusive nature, it inhabits shallow coastal waters and sandy flats, feeding on benthic invertebrates. Due to its large size and specialized care requirements, it is almost exclusively kept in public aquariums or pursued as a sport fish.
