Just thought i would share my experiance:

I am babysitting a friends yellow tang (2") whilst he is away on holiday, Hes a loverly fish but looked a bit stressed when i first moved him into his tempory home. Anyway with five minutes of being in the tank he started to scope out my, usually very aggressive, Coral Banded shrimp (responsible for 1 fish and one shrimp death) after a further five minutes the CBS started to pin down and thouroughly clean the tang from nose to tail confused:! I was completly unaware that a CBS was a cleaning species. I have some good pics of the event which i hope to post later

Anyways now tang is doing great and now always has his sailfin erect! loverly fish shame to let him go in a weeks time!

Shrimp with white antennae are usually cleaners in nature but not all of them will clean in the aquarium due to having much more food readily available at feeding time.
