Shark Of The Week on Instagram: "« The remora receives more than just a convenient food source; it is also protected from predators and given free transportation through the oceans. By keeping the waters clear of scraps around the shark, the remoras prevent the development of unhealthy organisms near the shark. The host shark is also kept clean of irritating parasites that could adversely affect its health.

Pilot fish swim alongside sharks but do not attach themselves. «  🦈 by 📷 @chaos.auto
