Some sharks are the opposite. This is a grey bamboo shark, the seventh species I dived with.
Its about 2 feet long and its hiding behind a sea urchin. It'll stay there all day or hidden in another hole (possibly with a group of its mates) because thats what it does...when it gets dark it might nip out and eat a snail or little crab or two. Til then it'll stay hiding behind its urchin and sleep.

What an interesting sleeping place... I had never thought before of the "comfort" of sleeping behind a sea urchin :)
I know what you mean - these are very prolific little sharks in certain areas but they seem to spend all their time hidden in a ludicrously unphotographic position. This one was the most "exposed" I found framed by his urchins.
