This Tahitian Stingray, Himantura fai, is being cleaned by a pair of Bluestreak Cleaner Wrasse, Labroides dimidiatus. A perfect example of symbiosis, the relationship benefits both parties; the wrasses make an easy meal of any parasites while the ray is relieved of bothersome pests. Similan Islands Marine National Park, Thailand, Andaman Sea
