Cleaning Station & Spa 2014

While scuba diving with the staff at Pirates Point Resort, Little Cayman, BWI  we often encounter Cleaning Stations.  They are underwater locations where larger fish wait "patiently" while small fish and shrimp eat the parasites clinging to them.  Larger fish, such as a groupers, will stop, change color,  and open its mouth and  gills.  This lets the smaller creatures know that the grouper does not want to eat them, but rather is hoping the smaller critters will eat their parasites.   We won First Prize in 2014 in the annual Pirates Point Art Contest for this "found art" sculpture.   This fish cleaning station reminded us of the human equivalent - the spa so we created this "upscale" version.
