Charleston's South Carolina Aquarium will move two sandbar sharks to Ripley's Aquarium in Myrtle Beach on Monday.
The donation to Ripley's will allow South Carolina Aquarium staff to showcase four more sandbar sharks in the Great Ocean Tank exhibit.
The sandbar shark is one of the most common species of shark found in South Carolina.
The change will also create the chance for the exhibit to feature hammerhead sharks Sphyrna mokarran, a brand new species to the Aquarium.
"Opportunities to showcase new animals are exciting," says Senior Dive Safety Officer, Arnold Postell. "We are hopeful to collect hammerhead sharks in the next few weeks. After a quarantine period, the species would then be featured in the Great Ocean Tank."
The shark move will take place at 10 am on Monday.
