    This little guy was hanging out with us for about 30 minutes. I thought maybe it was a cleaner wrasse because it kept "cleaning", but I can't find any variant that matched.

    It's a ramora not sure if I spelled it right. They have a sucker on there head that they use to cling on sharks or big fish. It eats scraps from the fish when it eats.

    Baby and juvenile Cobia look just like Remora too. The easiest way to tell the difference is look at the top of the head.
