Cleaner Wrasse

[broadwave]

Mike,

Do you have any cleaner wrasse in stock?

The large Copperband I bought from you the other day has a little ich on his fins, he's eating well and swimming around the tank. SO far he's the only one. I'd like to get rid of the ich before it gets any worse or spreads to other fish.

I do have a couple of the red Sea Cleaner wrasse but the problem is I hear rumors that he may be a SPS Polyp Eater.... The are a fantastic looking little wrasse and run about $35...

Oh No SPS POLYP EATER :eek:

Any other suggestions???

I've got my UV running and have been feeding mysis soaked in Selcon.
I'd rather not tear apart my reef just to catch him and place in aquarantine tank.

Do you have any cleaner shrimp in stock?

I am concerned if I put them in my tank that my strawberry Psudo will try to eat them??

Make sure your pump on your UV sterilizer isn't running too fast. I had some trouble with ick, but it went away when I put a smaller pump on my UV sterilizer.
Good luck.

I wouldn't put him in a qt. In my experience and reading, this is probably just stress induced and will go away soon. It probably won't effect other fish, and if it would, it's too late to not expose them anyway. skunk cleaners and neon gobies have worked great for me with CBBs. I don't know if a skunk would get eaten, but some shrimp eaters will stay away from eating the cleaners.
