A shark as a present.
Its a Atelomycterus marmoratus, can it live togheter with my other Chiloscyllium punctatum?.
Any special care for the Atelomycterus marmoratus?
Thanks.

it should be able to co exist with the brown bamboo you have already. but likes to swim alot more than your Brbnd and will need to eat more often also since it is much more active.

New question, will it eat a bunch of green and purple chromis i got there?, they ahev lived 2 month with the bamboo shark.

No real special care requirements for keeping a Coral Catshark (Atelomycterus marmoratus).

Yes they can be kept with a Brown-banded Bamboo. Since they share similar habitats, and preferred water conditions (both tropical tidal pool species).

However the Coral cats may go after the chromis - since they tend to be more active & more aggressive sharks than Brown Banded Bamboos.

Bamboos wont go after fish, corals go after fish all night long and enjoy. So don't be expecting to keep anything smaller than the sharks fully unhinged jaws. My coral ate a royal gramma, a clown, and 3 chromis in one night. Make sure to deworm it though, mine died of worms and/or ammonia poisoning from shipping, it was a long slow 3 week death.
