Cleaner-client Mutualism

Cleaner-Client Mutualism is a mutualistic interaction in which one organism (the cleaner) removes and consumes parasites, dead tissue, or debris from the body surface, mouth, or gills of another organism (the client), thereby providing a hygiene service that enhances the client's health while obtaining a nutritional benefit.
