Риба на кораловому рифі отримує послугу очищення від ідолової риби

What would your daily morning routine look like if you would be a fish living in a tropical coral reef?? Right, you would enjoy the all-inclusive service at the local cleaning station. Like this 'moorish idol' does by getting its gills cleaned from a bluestreak cleaner wrasse. Every morning the whole reef community, but also pelagic animals like barracudas or needle fish, hover over the shallow reefs in hope to improve their hygiene. In return the cleaner fishes can feed on the skin parasites they can find. All in all quite a good deal, or what do you think?? 😉
