The remora, also known as the suckerfish, is closely related to other fish in the family Echeneidae. This family includes species that are characterized by their adhesive disc on the top of their heads, allowing them to attach to larger marine animals like sharks and turtles. Remoras are often found in tropical and subtropical waters and are known for their commensal relationship with these larger hosts. Their closest relatives are other suckerfish within the same family.
