Best of Mike #415


I am always amazed by this kind of cleaning behavior.

The Spotted Moray, who is most definitely a carnivore, allows the Pedersen Clean Shrimp to crawl all over it's body, including into it's mouth.... to clean off the parasites that accumulate on pretty much all creatures under the sea.

There is obviously some kind of "I won't eat you” agreement in place.... but I have never been able to figure out how it is communicated.
