fire shrimp

do fireshrimp actually clean fish like the cleaner shrimp do? I'm just wondering because i saw my mimic tang in the cave my fireshrimp lives in and the shrimp was on the tangs face. I didn't get a pic because he stoped by the time i got my camera over there. anybody ever see this with theirs?

Fireshrimp are cleaners as well. Just like skunk cleaner shrimp they "can" clean fish but not all will.

ohh. neet! that's pretty cool! I didn't think the shrimp would be able to hurt my tang but I sure was freaked out by the sight!
