Echeneis neucratoides aka Shark Suckers or Remora
This guy seems in my mind to want to be my friend. So I think I might be a little narced when we met.
It stayed with me the entire dive, even tried to attach the thing on the top of its head to my tank.
The weird grill looking area on em is the sucker attachment feature, it opens up like a gill.
