The Blacktip Reef Shark (Carcharhinus melanopterus) is a small to medium-sized shark commonly found in the shallow, warm waters of coral reefs throughout the Indo-Pacific region, including the Red Sea and the Great Barrier Reef. Recognizable by the distinctive black tips on its dorsal and tail fins, this shark typically reaches a length of about 1.5 to 2 meters (5 to 6.5 feet). It plays a crucial role in maintaining the health of reef ecosystems by helping to control fish populations.
