Spotlight: Cleaner Wrasse


The Cleaner Wrasse (or Blue Streak Wrasse) is a special type of fish, and probably one of the most interesting fish in the Reef ecosystem. Cleaner Wrasses eat parasite living in other fish. They rely on the parasites for the majority of their nutrition. They usually live about 1 to 30 meters under the surface and can grow up to 5.5 inches long. Cleaner Wrasses are carnivorous and rely on symbiotic relationships with other fish.
