Cleaning symbiosis is a mutually beneficial association between individuals of two species, where one (the cleaner) removes and eats parasites and other materials from the surface of the other (the client). Cleaning symbiosis is well-known among marine fish, where some small species of cleaner fish, notably wrasses but also species in other ...
Cleaning station. A reef manta ray at a cleaning station, maintaining a near stationary position atop a coral patch for several minutes while being cleaned. A rockmover wrasse being cleaned by Hawaiian cleaner wrasses on a reef in Hawaii. Some manini and a filefish wait their turn. A cleaning station is a location where aquatic life congregate ...
Phosphates in detergent. Phosphates in detergent refers to the use of phosphates as an ingredient in a detergent product. The advantage of using phosphates in a consumer laundry detergent or dishwashing detergent is that they make detergents more efficient by chelating calcium and magnesium ions. [1] The disadvantage of using phosphates is that ...
The false cleanerfish ( Aspidontus taeniatus) is a species of combtooth blenny, a mimic that copies both the dance and appearance of Labroides dimidiatus (the bluestreak cleaner wrasse), a similarly colored species of cleaner wrasse. It likely mimics that species to avoid predation, [2] as well as to occasionally bite the fins of its victims ...
Ice pigging is a technique used for cleaning pipes, distinguished from traditional pigging by the use of a semi-solid 'pig' made of ice, rather than a solid object. This ice pig is capable of flowing through pipes, navigating obstructions such as valves and variations in pipe diameter, due to its fluid-like properties. The process allows for ...
Make sure the stove top is cool and turned off before cleaning. Wipe down the stove top with a damp cloth. Wash the entire surface area with a non-abrasive sponge and dish soap. If the surface is ...
Crimson cleaner fish. The crimson cleaner fish ( Suezichthys aylingi ), or butcher's dick in Australia, [2] is a species of wrasse native to the southwestern Pacific Ocean around Australia and New Zealand. This species inhabits patches of sand on reefs at depths of from 6 to 100 metres (20 to 328 ft). It is a cleaner fish.
Cleaner wrasses are the best-known of the cleaner fish. They live in a cleaning symbiosis with larger, often predatory, fish, grooming them and benefiting by consuming what they remove. "Client" fish congregate at wrasse "cleaning stations" and wait for the cleaner fish to remove gnathiid parasites, the cleaners even swimming into their open ...
