Leiodon Shark [Carcharhinus leiodon]
Description
Leiodon sharks are typically associated with deeper or less-visited marine habitats, so divers may only see them occasionally. When encountered, they tend to move with a calm, cruising pace, often passing through the water column rather than lingering on the reef.
