It seems like you are now saying that the remora-shark symbiotic relationship is now MUTUALISM. Is this correct?

Could be so.
As a high school teacher I am reminded of how many symbiosis
nurtured students attached themselves to me, and I don't think
it was hero worship. Hard to hurt their feelings, but they
needed to get a life. I called them barnacle-buddies._________________________

Some think commensalism others mutualism,(don't wanna be a remora).

Loc: this too shall pass
as we have seen much of lately, many seem to think that they are posting directly to Anu (or his minions) when they post here for the first time.

Wouldn't it take nine more of you to make a minion?

Bio (teacher) Joe
Bio Joe, I, too, am a newbie. The only biology I studied formally took place 55 years ago. I still know though that the head bone connected to the neck bone have parts that are called a frontal, a temporal, and an occipital.
But, (there's a conjunction that is beginning a sentence [that's relative to another list on this forum]) don't sharks benefit from the presence remoras? Don't remoras serve as a kind of vacuum cleaner for a shark's skin?
