Eucrossorhinus is a genus of carpet sharks known for the Tasselled Wobbegong, a species with a distinctive fringed appearance. These sharks are popular in large home aquariums due to their unique look and behavior.

They feed on live or frozen prey and are nocturnal hunters. Their intricate patterns provide excellent camouflage against the reef.
