The Red Fire Shrimp, this shrimp is a deep blood red with with antennae that are used to signal fish with their cleaning services. The fire shrimp will hang out on a live rock overhang and wave their antennae about waiting for fish to come up to them at which point they will clean the body, fins and gills of the fish. It is really quite the sight to see the red fire shrimp doing this.
