    Cleaner Shrimps of Rangali Reef

    One morning, in Rangali Reef, Southwest of Ari Atoll, Maldives, I went SCUBA diving with Emperor Leo and noticed Clear Cleaner Shrimps were busy at work on a Moray. Not too far from them, there was a crevice full of them, looking for work. So I gave them a job on my hand. :D
