The lastest on cleaner wrasse!

[lee9]

The link to the actual research article is at the bottom of the page where it says reference in case you didn't see it. I missed it the first time I read it. It explains the methods they used.

I have read that before but it did not convince me. I do have a cleaner wrasse, not to clean my fish because they have no parasites, I have it because I like them. he's doing great and he's part of the community just like the other fish in my tank.

If removing cleaner wrasse make the reef deprived of herbivores, then taking herbivores for the aquarium trade should be as bad as taking any cleaner wrasse.
