A smaller, more strongly patterned wobbegong of the east coast, usually wedged into a crevice with only the head showing.
To about 1.2 m, smaller and more strongly patterned than the spotted wobbegong, usually wedged into a crevice on coral or rocky reef with only the head showing. The two overlap in range and are separated on the pattern and on the shape of the skin lobes around the mouth.
The hazard is the same and for the same reason: it does not move, it bites what touches it, and it holds. Its habit of jamming itself into a crevice means the part of it a diver sees is the part with the teeth in it.
Ratings are per location: 1 means found on most dives that look for it, 5 means a handful of records. Where enough dives have been logged the figure is calculated from them; otherwise it is an editorial estimate, and says so. We publish habitat and destination, not the dive site.
