Peppermint Shrimp - Best Manicurists Ever?

Yes it's very wise to have a cleaner shrimp in a tank if you have tangs, because cleaner shrimp can get into spots and remove parasites that other cleaner animals can't get to. And the tangs actually let them do it. My cleaner shrimp cleans my Coral Beauty every now and then, including in her gill slits.

 

Hmmmm, interesting thread. Shrimp manicures, shrimp up noses, ocean water up noses....

I can't find our peppermint shrimp - they never come out in the daytime (I did see 2 of them after lights out the other night). But, the aiptasia is gone!
