What type of symbiosis do Wrasse exhibit?

Cleaner wrasse exhibit a type of symbiosis known as cleaning symbiosis or mutualistic symbiosis. In this type of relationship, one organism (the cleaner, in this case, the wrasse) provides a service to another organism (the client, usually larger reef fish) by removing parasites, dead tissue, and mucus from their bodies. The client benefits by having these parasites and other harmful substances removed, which helps maintain their health and overall well-being. In return, the cleaner wrasse benefits by obtaining food from the process. This mutualistic relationship allows both species to benefit from the interaction and coexist peacefully in their shared environment.
