I saw this little turtle on consecutive days last weekend. Both times, it had three remoras on its shell. Two are definitely Slender Remoras, and the third is probably the same, though less easily identified in the photos I took. The remoras don’t harm the turtle, except for possibly slowing it down a bit, though this turtle looked pretty speedy regardless.

I didn’t know that remoras attached to turtles only heard of them on sharks and rays. Thanks for that info Graham.

Turtles are the only things I’ve seen them on!

Very special. At first I thought a remora was some kind of condition of the shell, but by conclusion I got it. Smart little hitchhikers.

The only remoras I’ve seen have been on turtles, but they also attach themselves to rays and sharks!

That photo makes me smile, Graham, and in my mind’s eye, I’m seeing the turtle swimming through the water. 🙂
