The hanger on is a REMORA or SHARKSUCKER.
A remora breaths under the water, while a sea turtle must surface every once in awhile to breath air. The Sharksucker moves to the bottom of his host when the turtle surfaces...
Once the turtle takes a breath, he drops to the ocean floor to eat more grass (the sucker eats the leftovers), and it all repeats...
He doesn't seem to mind.
AWESOME shots! I especially like the hanger on shot.
ReplyDeleteFantastic shots! So nice to see oil-free water and turtles!
