How Cleaner Shrimp Evolved to Clean Fish

In the coral reefs, cleaner shrimp wait at their cleaning stations for customers. They will clean any fish that stop by, some of which can be many times their size and even have a taste for crustacean. But this unique relationship between cleaner and client has evolved to avoid conflict, ensuring both parties benefit in some way.
