Biology     Glossary (e.g. epibenthic) Most abundant remora in warm waters (Ref. 4389 ). Occurs near as well as far from the coast (Ref. 5217 ). Often found free-swimming in shallow inshore areas and around coral reefs (Ref. 26938 ). Attaches temporarily to a variety of hosts including sharks, rays, large bony fishes or sea turtles, whales, dolphins and also to ships. May follow divers (Ref. 9710 ); reported to attach itself to a diver's leg (Ref. 57809 ). Feeds on small fishes, bits of its host's prey and host's parasites (Ref. 26938 ). Juveniles occasionally act as reef station-based cleaners, where they service parrotfishes (Ref. 40095 ). Sometimes used by natives to aid in fishing; a line is tied to the caudal peduncle of the remora and then is released; upon attaching to another fish, the remora and its host are hauled in by the fisher (Ref. 9682 ).
