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 was trying to get a photo of a turtle taking a breath – harder to get than dragonflies flying – but I liked the sparkles on the water I got by chance!
I was coming to the end of a recent swim when I saw this Blue-spotted Cornetfish in very shallow water. Often, they’ll scoot away, but this one continued slowly into ever shallower water. The water was clear and the day sunny so the blue spots show up really well.
