Blacktail Reef Shark

Found singly or in shivers, during the day sometimes resting on the bottom, dispersing at night, cruising over the reefs in search of prey. Over deep areas close to drop-offs, atoll passes, shallow lagoons with strong currents, and in deep oceanic waters.
They feed nocturnally on crustaceans, fish, invertebrates, lobsters, octopus, and squid.

This is one of the most common sharks on Indo-Pacific coral reefs.
Occasionally aggressive and dangerous.

Requiem Sharks have some of the most potentially dangerous sharks in their family and are responsible for over half of shark attacks. They can also be difficult to identify!
