Wow good read. Thx

just wondering how they could prevent cleaner wrasse from entering certain areas for 8 + years..does not sound possible, thus the study sound a bit unrealistic from A to Z.

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.

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 saw my neon on my tang yesterday. He now hangs close to
My cleaner shrimp.



Does his job apparently!

Great fish. Good luck.

Lee9 , thanks for posting the link for the study for Danielle to review.

Wow very informative and interesting. Thanks for the share. .. It's a conclusion I think it's easy to intuitively believe, but good to have some empirical data ..
