Sharksucker Echeneis naucrates is found in inshore as well as offshore in tropical and warm temperate waters at depths from 20-50 m (66-164 ft). Although known for attaching to a variety of hosts including sharks, rays, large bony fishes, sea turtles and marine mammals as well as sometimes ships, the sharksucker is often observed in free-swimming groups over shallow coral reefs. This species is dependent upon their hosts for survival as they are a poor swimmer and lack a swim bladder. This specimen is attached to thecarapace of a Green Turtle Chelonia midas.
