Are you talking about this photo of the ray with the remora you posted in photos?

Hi, I can see why you would think that, but if you enlarge it & look closely you will see that it looks nothing like what your describing as it doesn`t appear to have any gills or fins plus the Remora usually clings to the body not inside, surely somebody must have an idea to what it is, any Marine Bioligists out there???

The picture is a bit fuzzy did you happen to notice any physical features on it? If no gills maybe something that would look like a series of holes down the side near where the gills should be?

No Mate, I didn`t even notice this until I arrived home & transfered it to my pc & zoomed in.I have put before & after pictures up with no sign of the protrusion, apperantly they give birth to live pups so I was wondering if anyone out there could put this querie to bed as I am wondering what the blazes this is???
Help, anyone????

Hi all, I really don`t know, but if that si the case is the male`s thingy pre-hensile as it looks to have a mind of it`s own?
This is giving me sleepless nights now as I am having strange dreams & the other thing is out of our little bunch of divers on the day only 1 other had a camera & he was a novice diver who got so excited that he started to completely lose control of his bouyancy so started shooting to the surface!!! He had to be dragged back down by the guide/instructor so didn`t get any shots, typical.
I think we need an answer from one of the worlds leading Marine bIoligists, anybody know one who this could be forwarded on too.I could e-mail the shots from initial take off until that appears then disappears again if that would help?
But hey, thanks any way as who knows we might even stumble on the right answer if we keep on at the querie, so keep them coming.
Thanks Paul.

I’ll forward it on to the Emirates Dive Association Marine Biologist and see what they say :)

That would be great, I`d love to put this to bed.
Many thanks Paul.
