Labroides [Labroides]

Description

Labroides (cleaner wrasses) are famous for their role as reef “cleaners,” often setting up small cleaning stations where other fish come to get parasites removed. Divers may watch a steady stream of clients—sometimes including larger reef fish—pause nearby while the cleaner wrasse works methodically.
