Bluestreak Cleaner Wrasse

The Bluestreak Cleaner Wrasse (Labroides dimidiatus) is a captivating marine species native to Indo-Pacific coral reefs. Its vibrant blue and yellow hues, compact size (around 3 inches), and unique behavior make it a notable presence in reef environments. Renowned for establishing cleaning stations, this small wrasse plays a crucial role in maintaining reef health by removing parasites from other fish. Ongoing research on its cleaning behavior and symbiotic relationships contributes to our understanding of marine biodiversity, supporting conservation efforts for coral reef ecosystems.
