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.
The idea of The Numbers Game is to enter a number into the search bar of your computer and then post a selection of the photos that turn up. This week’s number is 234. Captions are on the photos. You can see more responses here.

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.

I like to check out buoys like this because they often provide shelter for very small fish, in this case, a few tiny sergeantfishes including this one.
This week’s Sunday Stills challenge theme is ‘Ten.’ See more responses here. January of 2016 was the first full month for this blog, so I thought I’d post a few photos that ran back then.
