Because they are small and surface-dwelling, they can reach tight spaces that larger cleanup crew members often miss, including live rock crevices, frag racks, sand beds, filter socks, and areas around coral bases.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"603\" data-end=\"889\"\u003eThey are also a highly nutritious live food source for picky and specialized feeders such as mandarin dragonets, seahorses, pipefish, anthias, cuttlefish, and other zooplankton-eating fish.
