Peppermint Shrimp cleaning service

[MarineTeng]

i was moving some frags and cleaning the glass when this guy jumped on my finger and cleaned under my finger nails, surprised me at first, i went and got my camera put my finger in again and he came right back, the shots are a bit blurry since i took them left handed while my other hand is in the tank, i sharpened it as much as i could

Cute! I have a funny story about this. Once I was with a friend who had a huge sump full of these guys. We tried for the longest time to net some of them out without much luck. After we'd both given up, we were standing around the sump just chatting and I had my fingers dangling in the water as we were talking... then suddenly I felt all theses little "pinches." I screamed, pulled my hand out of the water just in time to see a few of these guys swimming fast away from where my hand had been! LOL

ya, my guy really surprised me too, i hadn't seen him in a while and forgot about him

Yeah, I used to have 3 Cleaner Shrimp, 2 Peppermint Shrimp and a Blood Shrimp that would all clean my hand at the same time. Feels kinda cool, and weird when they get up under your finger nails.
