 ID on a fish, please Last year we went scuba diving in the Bahamas and one of the first fish I encountered was this little guy...  Does anybody know what he is? My guess is some kind of cleaner wrasse, he looks similar to yours e_baer.

| Re: ID on a fish, please Not that it matters much, but I meant to say snorkeling. Scuba Diving will be the next trip.

| Re: ID on a fish, please what? does the top of his head look like, if it has ridges on it (can't tell from the pic.) this is an amora? I know I am not exactly corecct on the exact name, but these guys tag along with sharks in the wild, the ridges I was talking about actually sticks them to the shark, they from what I know are not agressive, just tagg'n along for a free meal...some feel free to correct on name and spelling, I think I'm pretty close? |

| Re: ID on a fish, please Picture isn't the greatest--my apologies. This guy was probably about a foot long and incredibly curious and playful. In fact, he wouldn't leave me alone kept trying to attach himself to me (or so it seemed). I didn't want to say "shark", but he certainly had some shark-like features. Then when I saw Elliott's picture post of a cleaner XXX, it reminded me of this lil' guy.

| Re: ID on a fish, please Definitely sounds like a remora, Remora - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia wiki entry has a pic of one that looks alot like that attached to a diver.
