It has hatched....

its a stegostoma or Zebra Shark

Sure is!

Meet the new little girl..... She is in a holding with a coral catshark and a pair of yellow rays (which are seperated by a divider). The holding is plumbed into one of the big displays, so she has been and will continue to be in the same water she will be in when she moves out to the public side in a few weeks.

Great looking shark you have there. She is going to get huge.

Awwww. Such a cute little shark. I like the pattern it has right now rather than the adult pattern.

Thanks guys.
I'm pretty stoked about it. I've put a lot of work into this particular animal already. She's the first zebra I've hatched in my career.
She's taking squid and PE Mysis very well right now. I plan on letting her get some size before moving her to the 3,700 gallon. She'll stay there on display until she has enough size to fit with the other sharks in the 5,000 gallon.
