We have recently added several new Cleaner Wrasse to our Sea of Cortez display. They have set up 4 new cleaning stations for larger fish, like this Cuvier's surgeonfish. In the wild the Cleaner Wrasse would clean the larger fish of naturally occurring parasites and loose scales which makes them a very useful addition to our aquarium.
