Q. WHAT IS OR DOES REMORA MEAN OR STAND FOR?

remora-imageA: From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A Remora sometimes called a suckerfish or sharksucker, is an elongated, brown fish in the order Perciformes and family Echeneidae. [1][2][3] They grow to 30–90 centimeters long (1–3 ft), and their distinctive first dorsal fin takes the form of a modified oval sucker with slat-like structures that open and close to create suction and take a firm hold against the skin of larger marine animals. By sliding backward, the remora can increase the suction, or it can release itself by swimming forward. Remoras sometimes attach to small boats. They swim well on their own, with a sinuous, or curved, motion.
Remoras are primarily tropical open-ocean dwellers and are commonly found attached to sharks, manta rays, whales, and turtles. The relationship between Remoras and their perfect hosts is most often taken to be one of commensalism, specifically phoresy. The host they attach to for transport gains nothing from the relationship but also loses little. The remora benefits by using the host as transport and protection and also feeds on materials dropped by the host.

Q. WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE REGULAR “NO-CLIP-NO SLIP” HOLSTER STYLE OR THE ART STYLE?
