The Ramora, often referred to as the "suckerfish," forms a symbiotic relationship with sharks through a mutualistic association. Ramoras attach themselves to sharks using their specialized dorsal fin, gaining protection from predators and access to food scraps from the shark's meals. In return, the shark benefits from the cleaning services provided by the Ramora, which helps remove parasites and dead skin. This relationship illustrates how different species can cooperate for mutual benefit in their ecosystems.
