Skunk Cleaner Shrimp

Lysmata amboinensis

The reef tank doctor. Sets up cleaning stations where fish line up to have parasites removed. Bold, personable, and will clean your hands when you reach into the tank. One of the most useful and entertaining saltwater inverts. Simultaneously hermaphroditic — any two can pair up and breed.
