Cleaner Fish and Their Clientele #shorts

Cleaner fish are highly specialized creatures that provide a valuable service to other fish species. They engage in a fascinating behavior known as cleaning symbiosis, where they meticulously remove dead skin, external parasites, and infected tissue from the surface or gill chambers of their clients. This unique interaction benefits both parties involved: the cleaner fish get a meal, while their clients enjoy improved hygiene and health.

These remarkable underwater helpers can be found in freshwater, brackish, and marine waters across the globe, with a particular concentration in tropical regions due to the high density of parasites. Their clients vary widely and include different fish species, aquatic reptiles (such as sea turtles and marine iguanas), mammals (like manatees and whales), and even octopuses.
