Hi, I am reviewing this article for GA and find it to be an excellent article. The one thing I see missing is any description of it coloring or camouflage in the "Description" section.  —Mattisse (Talk) 19:11, 10 June 2009 (UTC)

End of second paragraph: "Tawny nurse sharks are yellowish, reddish, or grayish brown above and off-white below, and are capable of slowly changing their color in response to the environment" -- Yzx (talk) 21:31, 10 June 2009 (UTC)
OK. Sorry, I didn't see it even though I looked!  I think the problem is where that information is, buried in birthing info. Shouldn't it be with the other physical descriptors?  —Mattisse (Talk) 21:34, 10 June 2009 (UTC)
Birthing info? It's in the second paragraph under "Description", after dermal denticles and before size. -- Yzx (talk) 21:40, 10 June 2009 (UTC)
(ec) Sorry. Edict conflict. I meant that I looked for it with the mention of the albino shark and could not find the camouflage information. I think the coloring should be more up front and easier to spy, and should mention the camouflage factor. —Mattisse (Talk) 21:43, 10 June 2009 (UTC)
I moved the size info to put the "normal color" sentence closer to the "abnormal characteristics" paragraph, but I think it should come before any mention of albinism. The current sentence order is of descending scale: description of normal coloration (most sharks) first, then missing dorsal fin (some individuals), then missing dorsal fin + albino (one individual). -- Yzx (talk) 21:55, 10 June 2009 (UTC)
OK. I trust your judgment.  —Mattisse (Talk) 22:33, 10 June 2009 (UTC)
