Cleaner mutualisms on coral reefs, where specialized fish remove parasites from many species of client fishes, have greatly increased our understanding of mutualism, yet we know little about important interspecific interactions between cleaners. Here, we explore the potential for competition between the cleanersLabroides dimidiatusandLabroides bicolorduring two distinct life stages. Previous work has demonstrated that in contrast toL. dimidiatus, which establish cleaning stations, adultL. bicolorrove over large areas, searching for clients. We show that site-attached juvenileL. bicolorassociate with different microhabitat than juvenileL. dimidiatusand thatL. bicolorspecialize on a narrower range of species thanL. dimidiatusas both juveniles and adults. Further, we present evidence suggesting that differences in resource-use are influenced by competitive interactions between the two species. Finally, we discuss the implications of these results for understanding the ecology and evolution of the mutualism.
