This massive Green Turtle comes with two passenger Remoras. Their relationship is mutually beneficial: the remoras remove parasites from the turtle and in return get to feed on the host's faeces. Basically, whilst it looks like the turtle is getting a raw deal here, it's the remoras that spend their life eating parasites and poo!
