A cleaner shrimp, the Banded Coral Shrimp advertises it's services on the reef. Fish, large and small will use the cleaner shrimp to rid themselves of food debris and parasites in a form of marine flossing. Fish will remain very still with gills flared during the cleaning. The banded Coral shrimp, although only about an inch and a half in length, is easy to spot. The long whisker-like antenae and the red bans are readily visible to divers.
