So I could really split hairs about cleaner Wrasses. Some books say they are obligate feeders, and will only eat parasites or starve. A parasite is in reality is protein , and fats etc. no different that Mysis Shrimp, or Brine Shrimp, or dried food for that matter. If they eat other foods they will live well. Therefore, if they will eat other foods when first introduced, they will be fine, so they are not really obligate feeders. Mine eats anything, and will live out his normal lifespan unless something happens. I only keep him to see just how long he lives. It is not one of my favorite fish at all. BTW He likes the feelers on snails, so my Astreas always have to keep their feelers hidden.
