Coral reefs are the one of earths most complex ecosystems, containing over 800 species of corals and one million animal and plant species. Here we see two Cleaner Wrasse, (Labroides dimidiatus) cleaning Parrotfish (Scarus niger). The Wrasse pick parasites off the Parrotfish to feed on them, which the Parrotfish allows for grooming purposes. A perfect demonstration of a symbiotic relationship. Parrotfish are hermaphroditic and usually transform from female to male at some point in their life. Image taken whilst scuba diving at Phi Phi island, Krabi, Thailand.

It has a slender body and a long, pointed snout. The body is blue with a white stripe running down the middle. The fins are also blue, with yellow markings. The bluestreak cleaner wrasse is a cleaner fish. This means that it eats parasites and dead tissue from the skin of other fish. The bluestreak cleaner wrasse sets up a "cleaning station" on a coral reef or other hard surface. Fish that need to be cleaned will swim to the cleaning station and allow the bluestreak cleaner wrasse to eat the parasites and dead tissue from their skin. The bluestreak cleaner wrasse is an important part of the coral reef ecosystem. It helps to keep the fish healthy by removing parasites and dead tissue. This helps to prevent the spread of disease and keeps the fish healthy and strong.
