Could someone please tell me what kind of critter this is? We saw it while snorkeling Waterlemon Cay last fall. I'm new and don't know how to insert a pic but it is the third pic in my album at
luvstjohn.shutterfly.com -Thanks!

I'm quite sure that's a Remora

Yes, remora.
There were a lot of reports of very large remora "bumping" swimmers on north shore last summer...just trying to hook up. People thought the remoras were sharks, with predictably swift exits from the water!

Yeah, he pulled the same crap at Woody's.
Several women complained of being touched inappropriately.
Management finally threw him out.

Oh, the heartbreak of remoras.

I had one of those things try to attach to me while in Jamaica. I about crapped myself, I was way way out there. My heart about came thru my chest till I got a look at him. Needless to say he followed me forever as I swam back trying to attach to me now and then. He finnally gave up on me about a hundred yards from shore.
