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.

Although I do not very well understand who the "you" is in your first post of a new thread ( welcome ) this Wikipedia link gives quite some information on the remora - shark issue. Some think commensalism others mutualism,( don't wanna be a remora). link 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.

In Biology we always learned that the symbiotic relationship between the remora and the shark was an examle of COMMENSALISM, where one animal (remora hitched a free ride) benefitted and the other (shark) was not harmed.
It seems like you are now saying that the remora-shark symbiotic relationship is now MUTUALISM. Is this correct?
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?
