Lepidocybium flavobrunneum, commonly known as the brown-banded bamboo shark, is a species of shark found in the warm waters of the Indo-Pacific region. It typically inhabits shallow coastal areas and coral reefs, where it can be seen resting on the ocean floor. This species is characterized by its elongated body and distinctive brown bands that run across its skin. As a member of the carpet shark family, Lepidocybium flavobrunneum is a nocturnal predator, primarily feeding on small fish and invertebrates. It is known for its ability to blend into its surroundings, which helps it avoid predators and ambush prey. This species is not considered endangered and is often found in aquariums due to its manageable size and docile nature.
