Northern wobbegong Profile

The Northern wobbegong (Orectolobus wardi) is a species of carpet shark native to the tropical waters of northern Australia. This fish is characterized by its distinctive camouflage pattern, featuring a mix of light and dark colors that allow it to blend into the ocean floor. It has a flattened body and an array of fringed barbels near its mouth, which it uses for sensory purposes. The Northern wobbegong is not commonly known in the aquarium hobby, primarily due to its size and specific care requirements.
