I am surprised zoodiver didn't say anything. The only reason I know this is because I have seem him mention in on a ton of threads. Marbled bamboo shark is a made up shark. It's a white spotted bamboo. Live aquaria also labels it a marbled bamboo.

Awesome shark anyway. He has a great shape and pattern.

I didn't realize it was a made up name. I've always called them White Spotted Bamboos, but after the place I bought it from said "Marbled" a billion times, I just started to think that was a more common name for it.
Whoops lol

congrats great looking shark

common names mean nothing, this shark can be called a marble bamboo, white spotted bamboo, banded bamboo, and on and on, no big deal as long as you get the scientific name right.

Agreed and I have seen this species sold under all of those names in the past.

Tank shots.
The shark isn't being too social.

Sorry about the dirty glass

There's the tank shots I was hoping to see! Good looking shark. With all the brown banded bamboos out there, it's always nice to see a white spotted.

Nice rays too.

Exactly, scientific names are all that really matter!

Yep, I get people calling them tiger sharks all the time when they see them on display. LOL
