Our half-dozen or so bluestreak cleaner wrasses have set up a "cleaning station" right in front of one of the windows!
Larger fish, such as this young emperor snapper, are attracted to cleaning stations by the wrasses' movements and bold colors. The wrasses then get to work, plucking parasites from fins, scales, and even the inside of their clients' mouths and gills!
