I think a lot has changed with feeding since articles were posted on wetwebmedia. There is now a larger range of foods available since the last article that was referenced. I find most cleaner wrasses now accept some frozen food. I have two, and I've had one of them for 2 years and the other is over a year.

Although progress has been made with special foods and understanding certain fish's requirements like the mandarin goby as an example, that is not the case for cleaner wrasse and other species like the Gold Rim tang (A. nigercans).
They require something in their diet which at this point is unknown.
There are cleaner wrasse from the Indian Ocean area and Africa what have better survival rates but they are not yet available here.
