Cleaning stations of the sea Jan 30 2008
In the Earth-Touch clip, Carpet of devil firefish, fish and eels take shelter in caves and small overhangs at the reef in Ponta Malongane Bay, southern Mozambique, in order to get cleaned.
In these crevices these fish are seen allowing small cleaner shrimps and wrasses to pick off parasites and dead or infected skin.
This provides food for the shrimps and wrasses. Their relationship with the fish and eels is therefore mutually beneficial or symbiotic.
