This link is a video of my Australian Marbled cat shark having breakfast one morning last month. I had a couple of request for pics, but figured this would work better. She's about 15" or so now and is amazing to watch.
Just copy/paste the link below. Enjoy! Let me know what you think.

Awesome :)

Only, that's not a marbled cat (Atelomycterus macleayi), it is a coral cat shark (Atelomycterus marmoratus).

may i ask your source for this? I'd like to look. I've checked pics and descriptions of both, and she looks like both. Australian Marbled cat shark is how she came from the distributor, and i can't find anything that points otherwise.
Thanks!

Marbled cats don't have white spots. Coral cats have white tips on their fins and are spotted white and black. Sending you a PM.

Absolutely amazing to watch. They are beautiful animals regardless. I really don't ever get tired of gazing at my girl.
