Lysmata

About Lysmata

• Lysmata are really hard-working cleaning staff! They live mainly in coral reefs where they ensure order and cleanliness. This means that they free fish from parasites and dead skin remains. Very practical!
• In addition, these cute animals also work as dentists: When it comes to large fish such as dusky groupers or moray eels, the shrimp crawl into the open mouth and remove food remains between their teeth. A natural teeth cleaning!
