Greetings, I preface this with noting I'm still new to marine (8 months). I have a 55 gallon with a CBS, oscellaris clown, condy anemone, mandarin goby, purple psedo, and 2 green chromis. Everything has been in the system for at least 4-5 months except the 6 line which was introduced last week. He has been eating fine and looks fantastic. This AM, when I went downstairs and turned the tank light on, the 6 line was lying on its side and thrashing around appearing that I was losing him. The color was fine, but he definitely looked like I would lose him today. Within seconds, the CBS snatched him up, the 6 line thrashed a few times and got away, but eventually the CBS had him firmly in hsi grips. I was running late for work, so I was just going to let nature take its' course. I come home for lunch, and much to my surprise, the 6 line looks to be fine except for a battered tail and is eating fine, too. I've been told the CBS is a cleaner as well, but I didn't gather that to be the case today. Any thoughts? Should I keep the CBS?
thanks as always,
Casey
 
CBS will clean fish, but it doesn't sound like normal cleaning. Who knows. Did the shrimp really grab the wrasse? Usually they just sweep their claws over the body to grab parasites and bits of skin.
