Comments: A common but little-known inshore shark found on coral reefs and though to inhabit crevices and holes on reefs (Ref. 11146).  Oviparous (Ref. 50449).  Caught occasionally by various fisheries operating over coral reefs and probably adversely affected by dynamite fishing (Ref.58048). Utilized fresh and dried-salted for food or processed for fishmeal and oil (Ref. 244).
