Cleaner Shrimp
Don't you hate brushing your teeth-spending 2 to 3 minutes after every meal looking like someone who has rabies? Well some animals in the ocean have an easy hack, they hire cleaning shrimp. Cleaning shrimp are shrimp that make a living by eating dead skin or parasites off of their hosts. Cleaning shrimp also do risky things like clean the teeth of moray eels and other deadly predators. These shrimp aren't only notoriously good cleaners, but they are also notoriously good at advertising. From having evolved super long antennas used to attract "clients," to hanging out at cleaning stations, these shrimp are not giving up the chance to clean any client.
