FBname: Short-tail nurse shark
Comments: A little-known inshore bottom shark of the continental and insular shelves.  Well adapted to lie amongst coral reefs due to its tough skin (Ref. 391); depth data not available (Ref. 43278).  Breeding and feeding habits are unknown.  Presumably oviparous (Ref. 50449).  Survives for many hours out of water (Ref. 391).
