It's often noticed thanks to these long antennas that protrude from the hole in which it hides.
It's an animal that comes out at night to feed and that we often find in the 49.2 feet zone.
The carapace of the lobster does not harden, it must moult when it becomes too big for its carapace. This is a difficult time for the animal because it is found defenseless, its shell is very soft at this time.
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.
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.
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.)
