Fact Friday

Be sure to check Yelp before heading to a cleaner fish station! Cleaner wrasse prefer to eat mucus off of fish than the parasites they are “hired” to remove. Sometimes they risk biting a client to get at the mucus. If the client gets too offended, it will chase the cleaner around; sometimes the wrasse will give the angered client a massage to make up for it. Learn more or watch our video of a cleaning station.
