The Coral Catshark (Atelomycterus marmoratus), also known as the marbled catshark is a species of catshark in the family Scyliorhinidae. It is named for its pupils, which strongly resemble those of a cat. It is common on shallow coral reefs across the Indo-West Pacific, from Pakistan to New Guinea. Reaching up to 70 cm (28 in) in length, the coral catshark has an extremely slender body, a short head and tail, and two dorsal fins that are angled backwards. It can be identified by the numerous black and white spots on its back, sides, and fins, which often merge to form horizontal bars. Furthermore, adult males have distinctively long and thin claspers.
