The cleaner echofin split from the wooleater echofin. They traveled to the northern coast of Dixon-Darwin and started cleaning other organisms. They quickly took advantage of the numerous polyfee-infested creatures. Their color has changed to gold to blend in with King Tropical Coast's Golden sand. They haven't spread further due to their dependence on tropical climates, their need to remain relatively close to the ocean floor, and their inability to withstand the deeper parts of the ocean. They swim much like a fish or eel and their longer bodies aid this method of movement. Their fins are used to stabilize them.
They have largely specialized in eating polyfee, but they also are known for cleaning sucker swarmers off of organisms. They also will occasionally eat left-right scaluckers, but they tend to be harder to catch. Their narrow jaws aid them in plucking polyfee and sucker swarmers off of their prey's hosts. It isn't uncommon to see larger creatures allow these small echofins to clean them. The cleaner echofin still retains its camouflage because sometimes, their hosts will attempt to eat them. In this case, they will swim away as fast as possible and then stop and sink close to the bottom so they are unlikely to be seen. They fill a niche similar to the cleaner shrimp.
