Coral Catshark

Coral Catshark

Atelomycterus marmoratus

The Coral Catshark is one of the smaller and more manageable aquarium sharks, reaching about 28 inches with a beautiful marbled brown-and-cream pattern. More peaceful than most sharks, it can coexist with larger fish that won't fit in its mouth. Requires a 180+ gallon tank with plenty of caves and overhangs for hiding during the day. Nocturnal hunter that will eat small fish, shrimp, and crabs at night.
