I have a whitebelly wrasse, aka canarytop wrasse or lemon meringue wrasse. I've noticed I don't have much of a cleanup crew left so I was going to put in an order for a whole new cleanup crew. . As I perused a popular site, I realized I'm just ordering expensive meals for my wrasse. So I'm now looking for advice for a cleanup crew that is wrasse-safe, or at least wrasse-safe with caution.
 
Trochus snails are probably the strongest snail ,maybe a tigertail cucumber or two ? good luck...
 
Consider Pitho Crabs, strawberry conchs, scarlet leg and Halloween hermits, brittle stars, and larger shrimp like Skunk and blood to start.
 
I always had success with money cowries and urchins. I also kept a healthy population of asterina starfish. Those are about the only things my larger wrasses left alone.
