Wrasses are fish...so they swim.
They go inside another fishes mouths and gills and eat the parasites and both parties gain from the experience.
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.
hippos open their mouths and the cleaner wrasses (a fish) comes and eats all the bacteria
Hogfish are certainly in the same family as the wrasses(Labridae), so technically yes they are a type wrasse.
most wrasse live in the coral reef but some like the asian sheephead is found only in the abyss
Angelfish,butterflyfish,clownfish,damselfish,tangs,and wrasses are all good examples of tropical marine fish.
