Little Nervous

Ok a quick rundown. I had my lemon peel in QT I ran him through two doses of prazipro and then 36 days on cupramine at 4.75 the whole time. After the 36 days i observed the fish for almost two more weeks. Looked great, Eats great, and no signs of Ick or any other diseases for that matter.

Now today was the big day going into the Main Display. He is the first fish being placed in the tank. Now as soon as i put him in he swan around a bit then found one of my two cleaner shrimp and went right to it turned sideways and let the shrimp probe his body for parasites i'm assuming. Should i be worried Ick was not killed if he even had it while in QT?

OR is this something that just sometimes happens normally between fish and cleaner shrimp? Basically i'm afraid he has Ick because he was being cleaned by my shrimp.

Unless he's showing any other signs of a parasite or illness I would think this is normal behavior. I'm not a fish, but maybe it feels good. ;)

I would assume all is well if not showing any symptoms. My established lawnmower blenny would always stop by the cleaner for a quick massage. Especially if a new introduction to the tank, a visit to the cleaner is to be expected.

Yeah now my cleaner shrimp don't really come out anymore because my tang wants to be cleaned every time they try to show themselves.
