Tasselled wobbegong Profile

Eucrossorhinus dasypogon

ℹ️ Overview

The Tasselled wobbegong (Eucrossorhinus dasypogon) is a carpet shark known for its distinctive fringed appearance, which includes skin flaps around its mouth resembling tassels. The fish primarily exhibits a color pattern of mottled yellow, brown, and green, allowing it to blend seamlessly with its surroundings. It is native to the shallow, tropical waters of the western Pacific Ocean, ranging from Australia to Papua New Guinea. Characterized by a flattened body and broad, leaf-shaped pectoral fins, the wobbegong has a camouflaged appearance that aids in ambush predation. Despite its unique look, the Tasselled wobbegong is not commonly found in the aquarium hobby, primarily due to its large size and specialized care requirements.
