Basking, burrowed in the soft sands of Indonesia, this snake eel has only its head jutting from the substrate. A handful of tiny cleaner shrimp jostle for prime position — a small, industrious crowd tending to their host. In this act of symbiosis, the shrimp pick away parasites and dead skin, earning their meal, while the eel submits patiently to the service, rewarded with better health.
