not sure were you got all your info but any research I've done on RC shows that there IS an impact on the reefs by removing any type of cleaner wrasse.
as well, they have a VERY specialized diet [not ich] that we truly do not understand yet so therefore they 99% will die very shortly.
I've kept cleaner shrimp,neon gobies and wrasses [when I was ill informed] and I still have gobies that are not over a year old and cleaning all the time.
plus, most cleaner wrasses will harrase and even take bites of flesh as they get older [if they live] and this can intern cause other fish deaths.
