Sorry I missed the beer with you last night. Had to get home. Call me or email me next time so we do it properly.

Anyway the shrimp I was talking to you about is the "Pederson Cleaner Shrimp:. If you have Reef Creatures book. See page 177. I think I told you the wrong name.

That's what I want!! They are the COOLEST SHRIMP in the sea for me! I need to get some of theses guys.

Hope your 2 dragonettes made it safe. Post a picture in their new home.

looks like they might make their homes in anenomes, or have a symbiosis with them like clowns.. ?

"We see one of these cleaner shrimp on the sandy bottom in a small sea anemone. It is a shrimp called a Pederson cleaner shrimp. It is only 3/4 inch long!"

Yep down in Bonaire, they host with corkscrew anenomes. But if you put your finger down by them they would come out and clean your hand!

Love these guys and want some.
