Giant Anemone, especially when you find one with the colored tips, are just plain pretty, in and of themselves.

But a closer inspection will always find them to be host to a bunch of activity.

In this case, there are Spotted Cleaner Shrimp and some Squat Anemone Shrimp hard at work.

Cleaner shrimp is a term applied to a number of varieties of shrimp that make their living by cleaning parasites from fish.

It's a win/win situation.... the fish getting rid of parasites they don't want and the shrimp getting some nutritional value.
