Cleaner Shrimp

Description

Cleaner Shrimp make fascinating additions to the mature reef aquarium, where they will frequently be observed cleaning the parasites off of small fishes. Although Cleaner Shrimp are known to be quite safe cleaning parasites off of large predatory fish in the wild, in the confines of the aquarium, large belligerent tank mates are best avoided as it is not unheard of for such fish to eat them.
