Here are pictures of the two most common species, the stripes one comes in several shades and is the sharksucker (Echineus neucratoides) and gets 44" long, the other is the common remora (Remora remora) and gets around 34"

The color thing is still bugging me. Haha. That's what caught my attention in the first place. Oh well. I'll figure it out next time I go to the store.

My cousin caught one of those when we were fishing the bay once. It was the oddest looking fish we'd ever seen. We couldn't tell wich end was up! lol

His looked like this one.

The top part, the sucker was the vibrant color.. The red or yellow. They are so odd looking. I love it.

TFH January 2006 page 36 in the salt water Q&A has a quick article/question about them, little bit of info about keeping them in captivity.

I was with the boyfriend and we stopped in a pet shop the other day. We were looking at the salt water fish and we saw something I've never seen before. It was labeled as r____ shark (I can't remember the first name). The fish was long and somewhat skinny, black with yellow (possibly red), a flat head with ridges going across, and a shovel bottom lip. It has to have been one of the coolest fish I've ever seen and I've been trying to figure out what it was. Any Ideas?

Answer REMORA!
