🔍 Description:
The Cleaner Shrimp is one of the most recognizable and beloved shrimp in the reef hobby, sporting a vivid red-and-white “racing stripe” down its back and long, waving white antennae. It’s best known for its natural behavior of cleaning fish, even picking parasites and dead skin right off their scales and gills.

In addition to this unique cleaning service, Cleaner Shrimp act as highly effective scavengers, especially in hard-to-reach areas. Their active, social behavior makes them both functional and entertaining.
