What wrasses eat?
Wrasses primarily feed on small invertebrates, including crustaceans, mollusks, and polychaete worms. Many species also consume zooplankton and algae, depending on their habitat and food availability. Some larger wrasses, like the Napoleon wrasse, may even eat small fish. Their diverse diet helps maintain the health of coral reefs and marine ecosystems.

What are the symbiotic relationships of a cleaner wrasse?
Cleaner Wrasses provide a service to larger fish. In the ocean, particularly in a coral reef environment, cleaner wrasses, and other juvenile fish like the Gray and French Angelfish, provide the service of removing parasite from the larger fish's mouth, gills, skin/scales and fins. Without the cleaner fish the larger fish would suffer from parasitic infections. In return, the larger fish don't EAT the wrasses. A pretty good deal for both.

What is the relationship between a wrasse and batfish?
Wrasses and batfish are both types of fish but belong to different families. Wrasses are part of the Labridae family, characterized by their elongated bodies and vibrant colors, often found in coral reefs. Batfish, on the other hand, belong to the Ogcocephalidae family and are known for their flattened bodies and unique shape, which helps them blend into their benthic environments. While they may share similar habitats, their evolutionary paths and physical adaptations differ significantly.
