REMARKS

Remoras are bony fish with an oval dish on the top of their heads.

They use this disk to attach themselves to sharks, other fish and turtles to hitch rides across the ocean.

Whilst attached to an animal, remora feed on scraps dropped by their hosts.

How do Fish See
Fish have eyes very similar to a human, but not all have excellent colour vision. Shallow water fish, especially tropical fish, can see a broad spectrum of colours, however deep water fish are usually quite limited. Fish's eyes are positioned to allow excellent all round viewing, but some have their eyes on top of their heads, as they have a bottom dwelling existence.
