	Wrasse - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Some wrasses are widely known for their role as symbiotic fish, similar to the actions and those ascribed to the Egyptian plover: other fish will congregate at wrasse cleaning stations and wait for wrasses to swim into their open mouths and gill cavities to have gnathiid parasites removed.
		The cleaner wrasses are most well known to feed on dead tissue and scales and ectoparasites although they are also known to 'cheat' through the removal of healthy tissue and mucus which is costly for the client fish to produce.
		Some brightly-colored wrasses are popular for salt-water aquaria.

		In the demand center of Hong Kong, campaigns of consumer education are being conducted and our Specialist Group works together with the government and local non-governmental organizations to raise awareness of the status of this species among live reef fish traders and to improve the collection of import data.
