You know this thread is seven years old right?
Yes I do. I recently came across this thread while doing some more research on wobbegongs. Just like I came across this thread other people will come across it also. It is important good information is out there.

Orectolobus parvimaculatus stays under 3 ft. This is the wobbegong I am getting. A tank 12ft by 8ft x 1.5ft will hold about 1000 gallons. Will this not be big enough for a shark that averages 2.5ft?

And don't shark tanks need rounded edges so the sharks won't bump into the corners?
Some sharks can't have corners and some sharks can. Even if the shark can have corners it will be better not to have then.

The sharks that don't do well with corners are the obligated ram ventilators (ORV). These are the sharks that need to constantly move. The more common bamboo sharks and coral sharks are known are benthic sharks. They can have corners but they will appreciate not having them.
