ID needed for critter on dorsal fin. Thxs!
it does look similar! The Remora is down below! :) I saw them on a couple sharks.i was thinking parasite but possible cookie cutter too?!
 
yes, but if you look at the fin closely there are circles of flesh missing. My understanding of the cookie cutter is it attaches and cuts a circle of flesh and then detaches. But I do think it is a parasite - just trying to put a name to it. Thanks!
 
Spotted Marine Leech!
