I went to a LFS/aquatics centre today and i noticed a fish i hadnt seen before in a tank with two banded sharks. (im no professional on marine fish as im only new to them, but i always like to have a good look around the tanks) .
The sharks were pretty still but there was a small ray fish. It was on the bottom of the tank and was sifting through the sand.
It looked like a ray but at the same time looked as if it had a hard outer skeleton like a shell. It looked like to the back of its body it had small legs underneath moving the sand away from itself.
After a few minutes i went back to the tank and it had burrowed under the sand so only parts of it body were showing.
It was probably around 2-2.5 inches including its tail and had small bumps on its back which were rounded.
Colour wise it was sandy beige coloured and i didnt even notice it when i first went back to the tank!
Unfortunately i dont have a picture and the only writing on the tank was with reference to the sharks.
If i can get back there soon i will try and take picture, it was a bit busy today being a sunday there were a lot of children looking at the big sharks!
Sorry for my bad explanations!
i was interested in it and hoped someone could shed some light on it! I wasnt able to get someone who worked there to help either due to how busy it was.
