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.
Some sharks can stay motionless on the sand (white tips reef sharks, nurse sharks, etc.).
These sharks don't have to swim to bring oxygen to their gills like other sharks (grey, hammerheads tc.)
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.
Mammals have a horizontal tail.
Fishes have a vertical fin.
