It's Official My Anthais are RETARDED!!!!..LOL

So I am wondering why they are at a stand still by each rock waiting.......... and waiting........ and waiting..... then it dawns on me the Peppermint shrimp are not cleaner shrimp, they keep brushing themselves against them and are getting right in the peppermints faces to clean them it pretty funny in a way.... I only have one cleaner shrimp and lately he's been hiding maybe I should pick up a couple more since they like to be cleaned?

I thought they were more scavengers than cleaners if I am not mistaken.... but I could be wrong....

Any shrimp or fish can potentialy become cleaners for another.
