Morena y gamba roja limpiadora (Moray eel and red cleaner shrimp) 2 on 1

Here we have a couple of cleaner shrimp bracketing a moray, which is opening its mouth not to eat the shrimp (as I would do!) but rather to give them a chance to clean out dead flesh from its mouth.  Symbiosis at its best.

  2. Yes, here you have 2 completely different species joining up to help each other out. They are "cute" in their own way, but one is cleaning and the other is protecting. It´s a good team effort.
