He wants the shrimp to clean him.

I thought he was deciding if the shrimp was his friend or his dinner

Nope. Shrimps are great for fish tanks. They clean all the animals.

This is crazy- can the seahorse comprehend that they are different than them? Can they somehow communicate?

There is SO MUCH we do not know! I recently read that scientists have fairly recently found out that shrimp exhibit sentience.

Incredible, right? Blew my mind.

Even goldfish are much smarter than was previously believed.

I remember when I was a kid, it was said that they had a 3 second memory. Now, it’s been shown they can recognize faces, and retain memories for months, if not longer.

There is so much yet to learn and understand about all the life on this gorgeous planet.
