A pair of cleaner wrasse (bluestreak cleaner wrasse: Labroides dimidiatus) attend to a parrotfish client fish (dusky parrotfish: Scarus niger) at a cleaning station. Curiously these wrasse were not picking parasites, but were instead just rubbing their bodies on the client fish. Sha'ab Mahmood, Sinai, Egypt. Red Sea.
