Cleaner fish belong to various species, primarily within the family Labidae, which includes the cleaner wrasse (genus Labroides, with species like Labroides dimidiatus). Other types of cleaner fish include certain species of gobies, such as those in the genus Elacatinus. These fish are known for their mutualistic behavior, where they remove parasites and dead tissue from larger fish.
