Zoo Med Steampunk Ornament Shark 14cm

• 14 cm hand-painted ornament – each piece is finished by hand, so the paintwork carries natural variation rather than a flat, machine-printed look.
• Dual-habitat design – rated for both aquarium and terrarium use, so it moves between setups if you rescape.
• Sized for smaller tanks – delivers decorative impact without dominating a nano or standard-sized enclosure.
• Enrichment value – gives curious tank inhabitants a new surface and shape to explore, alongside the decorative appeal.

Suitable for community aquariums, planted tanks, and reptile or amphibian terrariums as a feature ornament. Not a full hide – it's a surface feature rather than an enclosed cave for shy or burrowing fish that need complete cover.

Rinse the ornament in clean water before adding it to your aquarium. Scrub gently with a soft brush to remove algae as it builds up. Avoid soap or detergents, which can leave residue in aquarium water.

Other pieces in Zoo Med's Steampunk Ornament range – Fish, Helmet Octopus, Skull, Starfish and Submarine – for a matching feature set within the one tank.

Covered by Zoo Med's standard manufacturer warranty against manufacturing defects, in addition to your rights under the Australian Consumer Law.

Is this ornament safe for a saltwater or reef tank?

Zoo Med markets it for general aquarium and terrarium use without specifying reef-safe materials, so if you're running a reef tank, check with Zoo Med directly before adding it rather than assume.

Will the paint come off in water?

The finish is designed for aquarium use, but like any painted ornament, gentle rinsing and a soft brush for algae will keep it looking its best for longer than a stiff scrub.

Can I use it in a terrarium as well as an aquarium?

Yes – Zoo Med rates this piece for both aquarium and terrarium use, so it works whether you keep fish or reptiles.
