Grey reef shark — size comparison — facts and sources
The grey reef shark lives around Indo-Pacific reefs, particularly atoll passages and slopes dropping towards the open sea. It uses places with stronger currents. In some areas, daytime gatherings range from a few to many individuals.
A broad dark tail-fin margin is an important identification feature. It remains active by day but feeds more intensively at night in some places. It hunts fish and other marine animals around reefs.
