Gorgeous creature! Are they the same species as seen around the shark here?

  Yes, its the same Remora as the ones following the Sharks.
  Usually, we find the Remoras following the bigger animals and occasionally, they separate from the animal they are following and 'jump' to another animal or in some rare instances, they try to follow scuba divers. Posted 5 years ago
