Show me your cleaner shrimp in action!

My blood red cleaner shrimp doing his duty. Don't see him out much but I guess my purple psudo pestered him enough for him to come out and clean where we could see him.

i just recently bought one and the only thing I've seen it clean is my hand. when the fish get near it he bolts.

sweet picture by the way, if you didn't know better you'd think your fish was on the dinner menu for that guy.

Yeah, I figured someone would say that. It's funny but when the psudo is getting cleaned it almost looks like he's having sex. If you look close, you'll also notice he's upside down.

how whacked would that be, get a tub with like 50 cleaner shrimp in there and let them go to town, I'd freak out......wow.

I've seen something on t.v. like that with some kind of fish over in India or somewhere in Asia. You sit in a tub and the fish eat your dried up skin from certain diseases.

That is a cool pic. Mine do clean the fish when they pull up and present on occasion. My Naso likes a cleaning and so does my Coral Beauty. I have never been able to get a good picture of that though so congrats!
