Cleaner Shrimp
Cleaner shrimp is a common name for a number of swimming Decapoda, decapod crustaceans that clean other organisms of parasites. Most are found in the family (biology), families Hippolytidae (including the Pacific cleaner shrimp, ''Lysmata amboinensis'') and Palaemonidae (including the spotted cleaner shrimp, spotted ''Periclimenes magnificus''), though the families Alpheidae, Pandalidae, and Stenopodidae (including the Stenopus hispidus, banded coral shrimp, ''Stenopus hispidus'') each contain at least one species of cleaner shrimp. The term "cleaner shrimp" is sometimes used more specifically for the family Hippolytidae and the genus ''Lysmata''. Cleaner shrimp are so called because they exhibit a cleaning symbiosis with client fish where the shrimp clean parasites from the fish. The fish benefit by having parasites removed from them, and the shrimp gain the nutritional value of the parasites. The shrimp also eat the mucus and parasites around the wounds of injured fish, which ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Lysmata Amboinensis
''Lysmata amboinensis'' is an omnivore, omnivorous Caridea, shrimp species known by several common names including the Pacific cleaner shrimp. It is considered a cleaner shrimp as eating parasites and dead tissue from fish makes up a large part of its diet. The species is a natural part of the coral reef ecosystem and is widespread across the tropics typically living at depths of . ''Lysmata amboinensis'' can reach a body length of and have long white antennae. Mature shrimp are pale in colour with longitudinal bands on their carapace; one central white band with wider scarlet red bands on either side. The shrimp has a long larval stage and unusual sexual maturation, initially being male but becoming a functional hermaphrodite once mature. ''Lysmata amboinensis'' is popular in home and public aquaria where it is commonly referred to as the skunk cleaner shrimp; this is due to its striking colours, peaceful nature, and useful Cleaning symbiosis, symbiotic cleaning relationship wh ...
