A confused suckerfish mistook this diver for a host

A confused suckerfish mistook this diver for a host: This scuba diver was gliding through the coral rich floors of the Red Sea just off the coast of Hurghada when a little remora fish — aka the suckerfish — mistook him for a shark and tried to hitch a ride, says National Geographic (runtime 0:36) . You can see the suckerfish, which typically uses its suction cup-equipped flat head to lock onto a body of bigger fish to travel easier and feed on its scraps, trying so persistently and failing every time to lock itself onto the diver’s wet suit. Not the sharpest tool in the shed, it’s apparently not uncommon of the suckerfish to make that mistake. But, don’t worry, they don’t bite.
