Do not get a cleaner wrasse.
What you need to do is to feed dry foods soaked in garlic extract or Garlic Extreme. Dry because it absorbs more garlic because the idea is to get as much garlic in the fish as possible. Feed often 4-5 times a day not too much just what they eat. Do it for a few weeks.

Hi,
From my experience, your Purple Tang won't be boss for long  I have a Powder Blue for over four years and a blue streak cleaner wrasse for almost five. When I first got my PBT it have severe Ich and was under nourished(rescued) I fed lots of Mysis (the person I got him from had his tank on a strict Nori diet??) and the Blue Streak cleaned him up really well. Never had Ich since. As others have said, feed garlic based foods. Cleaner wrasse are hit/miss, but mine has helped me a lot. QT is also a great idea with new additions  You're going to like the new boss.

After three days, things are looking a lot better. The powder blue continues to eat and has a huge appetite. The purple tang is beginning to realize that the powder blue is not fazed by his intimidation tactics and has left him alone all day today. The ick is almost completely gone. I've just been feeding with garlic.
The powder blue is also giving the other fish a workout. It is a big swimmer and does laps all day around the tank. The other fish that normally just hang out in one spot are scurrying around the tank wondering what all the fuss is about.

Hi,
Good to hear that things are coming along well. The Powder Blue will soon be, if not already the dominant fish, you'll be hard pressed to find another fish that will hassle with him, maybe an Achilles  Cheers
