Halichoeres chrysus aka the yellow coris wrasse is known to occasionally clean its tank mates of parasites the same as a regular cleaner wrasse would. In Wrasse and Parrotfishes by Scott W Michael pg 190 "I have seen H. chrysus clean other fish in captivity. One individual, for example, would pick at the body surfaces of several butterflyfishes." Books are fun.

Very cool!..... Would love to see a vid of that
There are quite a few fish that perform cleaning duties in the wild..... I saw a documentary where a small group of yellow tangs were cleaning a large jack (or something).....
