The pattern extends to the underside of the tail and the ventral pectoral and pelvic fin margins. The ventral surface is otherwise white. The tasselled wobbegong is reliably known to reach a length of 1.8 m (5.9 ft). Most authors consider an older record of a 3.7 m (12 ft) long individual to be erroneous.

There are 23–26 upper and 19 lower tooth rows; each tooth has a single slender, pointed cusp. The three upper and two lower rows of symphysial (central) teeth are especially long and fang-like. The five pairs of gill slits are short.

Observations in captivity have further revealed that this species seems to engage in active luring behavior.
