Zebra Horn Shark, is a medium-sized subtropical bottom shark. They range from beige to grey in base colour with dark narrow and broad vertical bands/saddles. They have pointy teeth at the front of their jaws that they use for clutching prey, and rounded molar-like teeth in back for grinding hard-shelled invertebrates (crustaceans, sea urchins, small fishes, mollusks). The horn in their name refers to the spines in front of each dorsal fin.
In nature, Zebra Horn Sharks hide during the day in crevices or rocks that are similar in color to them, and hunt at night. They can be found on the sea floor and use their strong pectoral fins to crawl along rocks. They can grow to 125cm long, with females slightly shorter.
The Zebra Horn Shark is an aggressive carnivore that needs to live in a tank size of 1,600L or more.
They can best be fed with enriched frozen and live meaty foods like all kinds of shrimp, fish, crab and the occasionally mussel!
