I know skunk cleaner shrimps set up cleaning stations, but do peppermint shrimps also do that?

I think it’s cleaning my lavender tang. Mind you the tang was harassing my coral banded shrimp asking for a clean. CBS didn’t know what was going on and was just trying to fend the tank off. Just a young fish 1-1/2” long added today. Peppermint is crawling over it and tang doesn’t seem to mind. Hope they make it ok. Will chase down a cleaner shrimp tomorrow.
