i just got back from sardinia and while snorkeling there i saw baby sting rays (or they might have been skate fish) and every time i found one … there was a little adorable halibut following behind, sometimes two. it happened on more than once occasion. is this a friendly relationship? sorry if this is a dumb question but i’m curious and can’t find the answer on goggle
