Spotted cleaner shrimp

I find sea anemones almost irresistible.  One reason is the creatures that live within and around their tentacles.  The spotted cleaner shrimp is my favorite anemone resident. I see them frequently, but still stop to try and take photos of them.  These photos were taken inside giant anemones, about 20 to 35 feet deep.



These shrimp were about an inch long.  Today, I finally lured one out to check out my fingers. It tried to clean, but didn't stay long. Cleaning a fish must be more rewarding.
