    Anyone else have a Cleaner Shrimp that jumps onto and cleans your hand whenever you put it in? Mine does lol Especially if I move a rock.

    Mine is in love with my hand. That could possibly be because I hand feed frozen and he's learned that if he jumps on my hand he gets to be first in an all-you-can-eat buffet....naaahhh, that couldn't possibly be it:p

    Mine loves to get under my fingernails. If I close my eyes, I can pretend I'm getting a manicure.

    Yes, mine used to do that all the time and would not want to get off. I read that they eat the dead skin and that is why they are doing this.
