Horn Shark
Heterodontus francisci
Unique looking with blunt heads and small "horns" above their eyes. They are slow-moving bottom dwellers that prefer slightly cooler water than standard tropical reef tanks.
About the Sharks Family
Sharks are the ultimate predator for many enthusiasts, but only a few bottom-dwelling species like Bamboo Sharks are suitable for home aquariums. They require very large tanks with a soft sandy bottom to prevent scratching their bellies. They will eat any invertebrate or small fish that fits in their mouth.
