These conspicuous reef shrimp are very interesting subjects to watch. They have been seen cleaning other fish, including moray eels, presumably picking off parasites. They are often in pairs and have been seen protecting each other during molting, grooming each other, and even performing a 'courting' dance. A truly remarkable relationship for shrimp. However, I have been told that if two unmated coral shrimp are placed together, they will fight to the death!
