Cleaning the cleaner! - Aquarium Advice

salty27 · 02-10-2008, 10:42 PM

I just caught my peppermint cleaning my sand sifting star. I've never really seen any of my shrimp cleaning my fish, let alone a star!

What made it funny was that the star was lifting up it's arms so the shirmp can get to the underside too, kinda like scrubbing under the pits!

He went at it for a good 10 minutes too.
