Shrimps are mainly scavenger feeders who live of the detritus at the bottom of the seas and oceans.

There are some who are specifically adapter to clean fish and have a symbiotic relationship with them. The fish are happy to allow the cleaner shrimp to climb all over them and remove parasites form the fish body, while the shrimp gets a free lunch.

They use their claws and a pair of paddle like legs to pick up and waft food into their mouth parts.
