Pilot fish are small, ray-finned fish known for their unique symbiotic relationship with larger marine animals, such as sharks, rays, and sea turtles. They often accompany these larger creatures, feeding on parasites and leftover scraps from their meals, thus providing a cleaning service. These small, agile fish are typically silver in color and have a distinctive appearance, making them easily recognizable in the oceans.
