    i would suggest a peppermint. they are very easy to care for and act similar to cleaner shrimp. They will also pick at your hand and attempt to clean it. But they tend to be a little more shy.

    I used to have a very cool confident cleaner shrimp that wasn't afraid of anything and loved cleaning my hand and my fish. Well he died recently (old age) and i picked up another and he just hides all day. Scared of my hand, food, and other fish. Hopefully he will come around soon like others.
