This photo is ravishing until you take a closer look to see a horror truth

How many animals are in this picture? Look closely, at least 3.

This is a picture of "Under Water" captured by photographer Quing Lin while diving in Lembeh Bay, Indonesia's northern Sulawesi island.

This beautiful photo entered the contest of Wildlife Photographer of the Year 2017 (Photo of Wildlife 2017).

Photo Under Water.

Quing Lin said that when he was scuba diving, he discovered a lovely small clownfish from afar. And you know, they're swimming among the tentacles of that anemone.

People often mistake anemones for plants, even called "flowers of the sea" . But in fact they are aquatic predators, such as eating sea slugs.

The tentacles have an anemone's toxins that cause prey and many fish to be terrified, but clown fish don't. Because clownfish have released mucus all over the skin, causing anemones to touch but as if they are . fond of themselves, caressing themselves!

So long ago, these two species decided to live symbiotic together. The anemones let the fish borrow the place to avoid the enemy (some other fish are afraid of sea anemones). The clown fish is also "gleaned" by the zooplankton on the anemone.

In return, the clown fish will swim through the pool to help circulate water, while attracting innocent prey swimming to the anemone to beat the cup.

Unfortunately, not all animals live "love and compassion" under the sea. After a moment of watching, photographer Quing discovered something "wrong" !

Eh, not every clown fish has two more bright eyes inside . their mouths or something ?!

Look closely and see, the inside of the fish mouth has two bright eyes.

Come here, please introduce to the 3rd creature in this picture: Cymothoa exigua parasite , with relatives with termites.

This new species is the extreme fear of many fish, because it will eat off the host's tongue !

Parasite Cymothoa exigua.

You don't hear wrong. From the time they were larvae, these parasites penetrated the gills of the fish, then moved to the mouth and clung hard to the base of the tongue. Next, they sucked out the blood, causing the fish tongue to shrink, drop almost to the end and replace it with the parasite - now a "tongue" instead!

This species of Cymothoa exigua is described scientifically very early, in 1884. It is known that, in addition to replacing fish blades and "asking for blood" , it does not affect other living functions of the host.

Cymothoa exigua can live for many years in the fish tongue.

However, many documents confirm that Cymothoa exigua can live for many years in the fish tongue, causing serious health damage to the host. It does not affect people unless they are caught alive, at that time it bites quite pain (according to BBC).

This Cymothoa exigua is described scientifically very early, in 1884.

In Puerto Rico in North America, people once filed a supermarket lawsuit when they discovered the parasite Cymothoa exigua was "attached" to the goldfish.

However, the lawsuit is unsuccessful because this species does not cause harm to humans even when ingested.

It is true that the ocean has something very peculiar, right?
