Cleaner shrimp and copperband butterfly fish

[Shawn_epicurious]

My copperband butterfly fish has been letting one of my cleaner shrimp crawl all over him today. Mostly around his belly.

that’s okay right? ...irs supposed to happen.

or do I have something to worry about?

That's why they are called cleaner shrimp! LOL! Mine does it all the time with my fish. Picks off dead skin, etc..
