What lovely creatures these swift, nicely marked sharks are. The stark black against the burnt sienna/yellow ochre is pleasing to view in sinewy gliding motion. I have a passion for these small sharks and worked with them in the aquarium field for over a decade. They are quick to respond when food is near and they feed on squid, fish, shrimp, crabs and other reef creatures. Shallow water and the hint of a shadow give the feeling of a sunny, warm, tropical, soft sandy beach nearby. Time for a siesta...
