A Green Turtle (Chelonia Mydas) feeds on the sea grass in the sheltered bay at Marsa Abu Dabab in the Southern Egyptian Red Sea. A juvenile Golden Trevally (Gnathanodon Specious), often referred to as a pilot fish, accompanies the turtle in a type of symbiosis called remoras (Remora Remora) also tag along for the benefit of feeding off the turtles excretions.
