Cleaner fish get punished for biting healthy scales
HERE’S THE INTERESTING PART
Aquatic reefs feature a bizarrely robust service sector. Tiny cleaner fish make a living picking parasites off massive predators. If a cleaner gets greedy and takes a painful bite out of the predator’s healthy scales, the larger fish fiercely chases them down, inflicting severe physical consequences. This brutal feedback loop perfectly enforces high-quality service standards across the entire marine ecosystem.
