cleaner shrmp

How can you tell the difference between a male and a female cleaner shrimp?
Also, I must have a dumb damsel, clown and yellow tang. The cleaner shrimp wants to attach himself to them, but they always scurry off <img src="graemlins//bah.gif" border="0" alt="[bah]" />

:D
cleaners , i believe have both organs, and both carry and fertilize teh eggs(when one molts, it fertilizes the other)
 
my cleaner shrimp is driving me nuts i have had it for a month and 3 times it has shed its skin so to speak and the skin always gets stuck to the intake of my filter and i think the darn thing is dead ... lol then it pops up somewhere else <img src="graemlins//confused.gif" border="0" alt="[confused]" />

How big is your shrimp compare to your other fishes. The other day I bought one big cleaner shrimp who was bigger than my clown. My clown won't go near it. Then I bought a smaller one. This one he likes.
