Thus he eats a lot of seaweed, he stops the weeds from taking over the reefs where he lives. Smaller fish and crustaceans are also on his menue. The Batfish often follows sea turtles, because he waits for them to go to the toilet. He likes to eat the turtles pooh. The young batfishes are very well camouflaged and therefore they can hide in mangroves and lagoons. Adults Batfish have very few enemies, so they swim more in the open water. The Komodo National Park is full of diversit and plenty different fish species. One of the best places to dive in this colourful underwater world.
