Ornate Wobbegong
Per Wikipedia: Slightly edited
The ornate wobbegong, Orectolobus ornatus, is a carpet shark in the family Orectolobidae, found in the western Pacific Ocean around eastern Indonesia, Papua New Guinea, and Australia.
The ornate wobbegong's caudal fin has its upper lobe hardly elevated above the body axis, with a strong terminal lobe and subterminal notch but no ventral lobe. It is a common bottom shark of inshore continental waters, on algal-covered rocky areas and coral reefs. It is nocturnal, resting on the bottom during the day and prowling on its reef habitat at night, where it is presumably feeding on bottom invertebrates and fishes but its diet is unrecorded. It attacks waders and fishers in tide pools. Its skin is very tough, attractively patterned and utilized for leather.
OK, it might be borderline WTF. It has obviously cool camoflaugue. It looks neat, but the reason I really posted this is beacuse I like to say "wobbegong". Sorry, it has been a rough morning. Carry on
