According to everything I have ever read about cleaner wrasse (Labroides dimidiatus) has told me they are strict carnivores, well, I have that eats algae. It does not pick it off the rocks but takes it from my gourmet grazer but not just any algae oh no. This one only seems interested in the Ulva I grow in my ATS. Next time I put Ulva in my grazer I will try and capture a video of it.
 
Mine eats nori, I was very surprised, but then again it eats everything else on top of cleaning the tank mates.
