Bluestreak cleaner wrasse

<p>The bluestreak cleaner wrasse (<i>Labroides dimidiatus</i>) is one of several species of <a href="/facts/Cleaner_wrasse/gleyUjKA">cleaner wrasses</a> found on <a href="/facts/Coral_reef/xzeK6yAp">coral reefs</a> from <a href="/facts/East_Africa/WtsAyphI">Eastern Africa</a> and the <a href="/facts/Red_Sea/0dKWSgEe">Red Sea</a> to <a href="/facts/French_Polynesia/cMytpeeC">French Polynesia</a>. Like other cleaner wrasses, it eats <a href="/facts/Parasite/HWPcgky7">parasites</a> and dead <a href="/facts/Tissue_(biology)/H7CpML7A">tissue</a> off larger <a href="/facts/Fish/fln4gH9V">fishes</a>' <a href="/facts/Skin/4havlLzG">skin</a> in a <a href="/facts/Mutualism_(biology)/29hCDDS2">mutualistic relationship</a> that provides food and protection for the <a href="/facts/Wrasse/gleyUjKA">wrasse</a>, and considerable health benefits for the other <a href="/facts/Fish/fln4gH9V">fishes</a>. It is also notable for having potentially passed the <a href="/facts/Mirror_test/h3rwCgpo">mirror test</a>, though this is not without controversy.
