Bull sharks are a common and aggressive species that tends to live in highly populated areas such as tropical shorelines. They like shallow waters and are likely the kind of sharks that attack humans most. Bull sharks can live in freshwater or saltwater and do tend to live in some rivers and lakes as long as they are deep enough (about 150 meters). They can live in the coral reef areas at times if it is close enough to the shorelines.
Brown sharks, also known as sandbar sharks, are found in warm-temperate and tropical waters worldwide. They prefer shallow coastal areas such as bays, estuaries, and coral reefs. Brown sharks are commonly found along the eastern coast of the United States.

Some species, for example Bolbometopon muricatum may include corals (polyps) in their diet. Their feeding activity is important for the production and distribution of coral sands in the reef biome and can prevent algae from choking coral. They eat plants at the bottom of the sea and the other animals poop.
Blacktip sharks primarily inhabit warm coastal waters in tropical and subtropical regions worldwide, including the western Atlantic Ocean, the Indian Ocean, and the western Pacific Ocean.
