No. They are mutualistic. The Cleaner Wrasse eats bacteria from the Grouper, while the Grouper provides the food source.
The Grouper arrives at the cleaner wrasse and the wrasse will clean the groupers mouth. They both benefit because the wrasse eats the bacteria as food and the grouper's mouth isn't packed up with bacteria anymore. Mutualism is when both creatures benefit. The Grouper may visit cleaner wrasse's more then once a day.
Many different types of fish do this; often juveniles. Notably this is done by Cleaner Wrasse.

A 'cleaner wrasse' has its 'station' or place where it works at cleaning the fish who come to visit for a clean up and de bug. Fish looking after their ova or young (in a relationship) may take it in turns to visit too if they have been attacked by some parasite that needs to be removed.
Some species of Wrasse, eg Cleaner Wrasse have a symbiotic relationship with larger fish, eg Groupers, Sharks, etc whereby the wrasse will clean parasites from the body of the larger fish helping to keep it healthy, and the larger fish provides the wrasse some degree of protection from predation as well as food in the form of parasites and scraps.

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.
