  1. sharksucker

    A sharksucker is a type of marine fish, specifically in the family Echeneidae, that is known for its distinctive behavior of attaching itself to sharks and other large marine animals using its sucker-like organ. They are also known as remoras and may attach to boats. These fish often form a symbiotic relationship with their host, feeding on parasites and leftover food scraps. The host in turn provides protection and transportation for the sharksucker.
