A segment of an event, which resulted in cleaning interactions being interrupted by a grey reef shark ( Carcharhinus amblyrhynchos ). Recorded by remote video camera 10 November 2009, on Station A, at 09:38 hours, a female pelagic thresher shark was joined by a grey reef shark 18 circular-stance-swim segments into its cleaning event. The two sharks shared the cleaning station for one additional segment before the thresher shark left the area. Of the 19 interrupted events, 12 involved thresher shark clients sharing a cleaning station with another elasmobranch, suggesting that interactions with cleaners may be an adaptive mutualism common across elasmobranch taxa.
