Cleaner wrasse are the barbers of the reef. Here we see a wrasse nipping parasites from a moray eel. The little fish is in no danger, it performs a service for the eel and at the same time gets itself a meal. The cleaner wrasse in this picture is very different to any other we have seen.

Underwater Salon - The Unlikely Friendship of a Moray Eel and its Personal Groomer
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In the bustling underwater world, where survival is key, an extraordinary partnership has formed. Meet the dynamic duo of VT-8725 - a sleek Moray Eel and its trusty sidekick, the Cleaner Wrasse. These two unlikely friends have become quite the sensation on the reef. As nature's barbershop quartet, this wrasse takes pride in its role as a diligent cleaner. With finesse and precision, it fearlessly nibbles away at pesky parasites that plague our eel friend's skin. It's like watching a spa day unfold beneath the waves! But don't be fooled by appearances; this symbiotic relationship is no one-sided affair. While enjoying their mutual grooming session, our little wrasse also indulges in a well-deserved meal from these unwelcome hitchhikers. Talk about multitasking! Captured off Indonesia's enchanting coast by Ron & Valerie Taylor, this snapshot showcases just how unique this particular cleaner wrasse truly is. Its dedication to hygiene sets it apart from any other we've encountered before. So next time you find yourself needing both pampering and sustenance simultaneously (we've all been there), take inspiration from our aquatic pals here! Remember that even in unexpected places, friendship can blossom when cooperation reigns supreme.
