Carcharhinus tjutjot

A Carcharhinus tjutjot with albinism,photo in August,2017,I recently got some messages about it by a shark keeper in there,this shark has been dead in last year.It might be the only one Carcharhinus tjutjot with albinism in captivity.
Interesting, I had never heard of this species but apparently it was split from Whitecheek Shark a couple years ago. That said, Bleeker described it in 1852 under C. tjutjot and it was later lumped as a synonym of C. dussumieri.
 
@Great Argus Yeah,actually,I haven't seen any introductions about this shark in the display zone.A shark keeper told me that this shark was thought to be a lemon shark,but the second dorsal fin was smaller than a real lemon,so I think it might be C. tjutjot.Some aquarium in Japan have also have this species in captivity
