Description

As a young male Rudile (Blandusuchus glaucoloratus) drags away the last remains of some unfortunate creature it has spent the better part of half an hour tearing apart, a few L. amensis has gathered around its mouth, occasionally nipping at the free-floating flesh.

While said behavior isn't commonplace, as predators can be hesitant to share their kill, some cleaner seahorses still do engage in it, as, on top of the normal ectoparasites they find amidst the maw of the caiman, they are able to get at least a few tiny chunks of meat at minimal cost.
