Real Coral Catshark Jaw (2.2")

The Coral Catshark, scientifically known as Atelomycterus marmoratus, is a small shark species found in the Indo-Pacific region, particularly around coral reefs. It belongs to the family Scyliorhinidae, characterized by its slender body and distinctive marbled pattern. Coral catsharks typically inhabit shallow coastal waters, where they feed on small fish, crustaceans, and mollusks. They are nocturnal hunters, resting during the day and actively foraging at night. Despite their relatively small size, coral catsharks play important roles in marine ecosystems as mesopredators, helping to regulate prey populations and maintain ecosystem balance.
