I have heard that it is illegal to collect cleaner wrasses in Hawaiian waters. That should tell you something. There are unscrupulous collectors and distributors and as long as there is a buyer, they will collect and sell them. This is one of those species that you should say "NO!" too and send the collectors a message that we are not going to buy them. Now if someone developes a successful breeding program, in captivity, that would be better than taking them from the ocean.

I know of one of our members that has cleaner wrasses and he has been successful, but he is an Advanced, European aquarist.
