Réf. Princ.	Blaber, S.J.M., 1980
Remarques	Inhabits rocky and coral reefs (Ref. 9137). A tropical inshore shark found on sand, rubble, or coral bottoms of the continental and insular shelves (Refs. 247, 9773, 129713). Recorded to have entered freshwater (Ref. 4735). Rather sluggish at least during the day (Ref. 247). Nocturnal, feeds mainly on mollusks, bivalves, small bony fishes and crabs (Refs. 9993, 129713). Slow-swimming and able to squirm into narrow cracks, crevices and channel in reefs while searching for food (Ref. 247).
