Results of an experiment conducted on Bahamian reefs in which clear plastic bottles were placed next to cleaning stations: one containing an invasive lionfish (Pterois volitans; PTVO), one containing a graysby grouper (Cephalopholis cruentata; CECR), and one empty. Cleaner and client species observed during each experimental interval are reported.
