Spotted Cleaner Shrimp

8 months, 3 weeks

These shrimp are protected from predators within the stinging cells of the anemone while enjoying immunity from their deadly touch. The symbiotic relationship between the anemone and the shrimp is fulfilled when occasionally, a customer enjoying a grooming drifts a little too close to the anemone tentacles and falls stunned into its embrace. The arms then pass the fish to the anemone’s mouth for digestion.
