I had a small ich problem and introduced 2 cleaner wrasses to my tank 2 weeks ago. They did an excellent job but now they are missing. I have a 200 gal tank and have 3 yellow tangs, 3 regal tangs , a coral beauty, a flame angel, a couple of clowns, a foxface, and a large purple tang. The wrasses were about an inch and a half long. Can I get, or should I get larger wrasses? I’ve seen the purple tang steal silver sides out of the anemone and think he may be the culprit.

They probably died...most don't live in captivity. Cleaner Wrasses are are best left in the oceans

Try Cleaner Shrimp or Neon Gobies:)

If you are looking to "cure" the ich problem cleaner wrasses and cleaner shrimps will not do the job. Also cleaner wrasses are best left in the wild.
