 *  A tiny Shrimp (Periclimenes yucatanicus) on a tentacle of the large Anemone (Condylactis gigantea).  It is interesting that the Periclimenes yucatanicus, unlike the violet and white marked  Periclimenes pedersonsoni, does not seem to exhibit cleaning behavior.  Both are often found associated with Sea Anemones as pictured, but differ in behavior.
