Common name: Carpet Sharks

Orectolobiformes, commonly known as carpet sharks or wobbegongs, are an order of sharks characterized by their distinctive patterns and mottled coloration which aids in camouflage on the ocean floor. Many species within this order, such as the well-known nurse shark, are popular in the aquarium trade due to their docile nature and adaptability to captivity. They typically have barbels near the mouth, which are sensory organs that help them locate prey in the substrate. While fascinating for advanced hobbyists, they require large tanks and specialized care.
