Description
The Pinkrose Rockfish (*Sebastes simulator*) is a deep-water marine fish native to the Eastern Pacific. It exhibits a reddish-pink body, large eyes, and spiny fins, typically inhabiting rocky reefs and soft bottoms at depths. This predatory species is rarely kept in aquariums due to its specialized cold-water and deep-sea requirements.
