 |  hermit crab can clean fish too?!?!
I've never heard of this before, but today my hermit crab cleaned my clarkii clownfish!
He would get into this position where his body was pretty much vertical and a bit extended out of the shell, and then the clownfish would swim down and sort of lay on top of him, and then he'd go to work! After awhile he turned over and the fish was swimming around him like, "Hey I'm not done yet!"
(sorry no pics yet, but I'll definitely be on the alert from now on!)
Has anyone ever heard of this or seen it before?!

I can tell that you are all underwhelmed by my discovery.
[sigh]
Well, I still thought it was freaking cool. | |
