Remora


Remora, originally uploaded by Junior Naturalist.
A Remora caught in the bay on the north end of Fort Myers Beach. The head has a suction cup type device that the fish uses to attach itself to other fish, usually sharks. They then eat bits of food that the fish leaves behind when feeding.

This guy stuck right to the side of the boat!
