This humbug damselfish sometimes lives with Dascyllus melanurus who is a damsel with a black band ending on the tail.
This fish lives in colony from 2 to 40 individuals, often ten.
It is often a harem chaired by a large male.
We can hear the bull shark is very dangerous because of attacks near La Réunion island.
However, tens of them are living at 600 feet from the famous beach of Playa Del Carmen in Mexico. And there are no attacks.
The whale shark is the largest fish in the world!
Some whales are larger, but they are mammals, not fish!
Parrotfish create a protective envelope around them when they are sleeping.
So, don't put the light on them during night dive to don't to wake them up and break this envelope.
