    Well I've never really thought about it before but does that black dot in a cleaner shrimps body mean anything? At my LFS i see cleaners with a big black dot in their body and then one with a small dot in the body. What exactly is that thing?

    Just my two cents, but could it be the food they pick up? Their stomach maybe.
