Seeing it in the modern day also isn't necessarily a guarantee it passed testing, the whole long & thorough testing process rather broke down towards the end of their civilization.
There's two Anyders. The one with the sharks is Akademia Anyder which is Lahabrea's research facility in Amaurot proper, which means it was actively being researched. Anamnesis Anyder seemed to be the storage facility but there are no sharks there.

It's still in the game. Also in the description for an A rank hunt: "An Eorzean acquaintance of mine recently informed me of a most confounding incident. Evidently, a shark walking upon two legs assaulted the site of an annual faire! Though it defies reason, I cannot but feel...excited.". Also there's the walking shark minion, whom I'd assume is related.


Also, this thread has gotten to a weird point if now we're arguing over whether weird sharks were approved by the Ancients.
