Roby[5] is a baby sea turtle who lives somewhere outside the reef village with his parents.
Appearance
Roby is a baby yellow loggerhead sea turtle with reddish-brown scales on his head and flippers, reddish-brown carapace, brown eyes, and ten brown freckles.
Personality
Roby is crafty, sneaky, and proud. He loves attention, which he is willing to obtain by lying about his life as a "great adventurer" at a very young age. This causes him to become Ricky's rival for Ella's attention and he's willing to go beyond words to support his lies when Ricky challenged him outside of the Reef. However, Roby is not an antagonist because deep down he's a very insecure turtle. He has overprotective parents who forbid him from going outside his home, but he wants to explore and make new friends due to his loneliness. When his lies are exposed, he felt remorseful and apologizes to Ella and her friends for lying to them.

Sammy
Roby is shown to respect Sammy as the leader of the reef village when he visited it, but he boasts about himself being a young adventurer to him in order to gain his attention. His boasting, however, leads to Sammy went off to search for his parents after Sammy saw him wandering all by himself in the great ocean.
Roby's parents
Roby lives with his parents outside of the reef village and they treated him like a child, forbidding him from wandering off by himself outside his home. At one point when Pipo asked Roby about them when he visited the village, he lied that his parents are killed and that he's all alone in the great ocean in order to prevent the reef inhabitants from finding out how overprotective his parents are. In the second season, they are also shown to be quite greedy and rude towards Sammy and Shelly, who hosted them at their place in the episode "Breakfast included".

Trivia
- At one point in "The Rival", Roby's name is misspelled as "Robby" in the Netflix English subtitles.
- Roby shares the same model as one of Coralia's son.
- Is likely that Roby actually traveled to many places in the ocean, since he's able to describe them, though his parents were always at his side, never abandoning him as he claimed; so the stories he told to the reef inhabitants are lies just in part.
