    Something I didn't expect but I have a blue hippo tang that got a little stressed lately (my fault, problem corrected) but he is moving up next to the mythrax crabs in my tank and they are doing the parasite cleaning thing. Anyone else seen this?
    I was thinking about getting a cleaner shrimp, but now I don't think I need one :)

    He is not being as cooperative as dorry would like, but he makes a tiny effort. Last night I saw him do a little picking, this AM he is mostly pushing dorry away saying, "leave me alone." I'll try to get pic of it soon.
