A Sea Turtle picture a day #22


Welcome back to A Sea Turtle Picture A Day. Today we are heading over to the West side of the Big Island of Hawaii to one of my favorite places to see turtles in the world. This is the Turtle cleaning station.Todays picture is that of a Green Sea Turtle (Chelonia mydas) being cleaned by Yellow Tang and Surgeon fish.
What is so amazing about spending time at a cleaning station is to just be able to see how different species interact with each other. The Sea Turtle gets its shell cleaned and the fish get a snack.
This picture was taken with a 12-24 mm lens
See you tomorrow
