Hey Guys,
I have a friend that recently bought a cleaner wrasse from a lfs. It was "cleaning" his tang last night when he saw the tang start and turn around and chase the wrasse. he looked closer and his tang had a small bite mark on his belly. He said this has happened with his hawkfish as well.
I believe I remember a documentary about cleaner wrasses that said that there were fish that mimic cleaner wrasses or are a different variation that are actually predatory. I can't find info on it now, but I'm pretty sure this is what has happened, he has a pretender in his tank.
Anyone heard of this before?
