Flatworms can multiply by scissiparity: a fragment of their body can detach and develop to produce a true clone of the first.
It can not be too confused with other species, it is sometimes more fuchsia than blue, but is very different from other flatworms.
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.
Turtles are in economy mode when they are sleeping. If they are woken during night, they may not have enough air to return to surface.
So, please be careful during night dives!
