I was reading this thread in anticipation for a grand finale, and then nothing, everyone just decided to give up...What ever happened to your experiment?

I have a niger, snowflake eel, blue headed wrasse, purple lobster, yellow tang, bi-color angel, black angler, and my cleaner shrimp.
maybe i'm just lucky but my cleaner shrimp is always sitting some rock cleaning the face of my eel or back of my niger and wrasse sometimes even my angler....so
i have to say it's possible.
and no, it's not a joke.

Oh I believe you. All 3 of my triggers, including the 6" golden heart got up to my shrimp for cleaning. I even saw one of the shrimp cleaning inside the golden heart's mouth. I ran up to get the camera but by the time I got back, the shrimp was gone.

oh yeah. ever since i've seen this thread i been trying to take video's specifically of my cleaner shrimp cleaning my eel or trigger but my cleaner shrimp likes to be on the bottom of the back of my rock work. so it's a hard angle to catch but eventually i will.
but he will literally just sit on top of my snowflake eels back while it lays in the sand and just clean away....
