Cleaner Shrimp


Merry Xmas & Happy New Year. This is one of a mating pair of cleaner shrimps. I decided to include this picture since it came out so nice. These guys are the life of the tank. They are very nosy and aggressive when it comes to food. Whenever my hand is inside the tank for cleaning, they climb on it and try to clean it too. They are a lot of fun to watch.
