    So that's why there are no piles of poop on the ocean floor. I need some of them fish to follow my dog.

    That species has been documented to follow bottlenose dolphins around.

    You guess the reason.

    Good timing on the shot. That turtle photo is one you enlarge and put in your bathroom.

    I've often seen Batfish follow turtles about too. Funny when people comment how 'cute' it looks - quite easy to change their mind on that view !!

    Black durgons ? Are they not Triggerfish ? Or is that just another common name variation ?

    Great 'action' shot of the turtle !!
