Description
The White Sole, also known as Rex Sole, is a flatfish native to the cold waters of the North Pacific Ocean. It is a bottom-dwelling carnivore, feeding on benthic invertebrates, and is characterized by its elongated, pale body. Due to its size and specific coldwater marine requirements, it is rarely kept in home aquariums.
