    i have cleaner shrimp in all my tanks and all 3 have "cleaning stations" and have for over a year seems like they only do it after i introduce new fish or alot of corals but when i do they r cleaning for a week or so dont know if its a reaction from stress or whatever but its cool anyhow lol

    I have just a blood shrimp now, and it doesn't behave like the cleaners (it hides under one rock, and it isn't a cleaning station) but it is still pretty cool. I tend to like the inverts anyway.
