Cleaner Wrasse or Cleaner Shrimp?

Like the title states what's you preference?

I hear the wrasses are hard to keep because they feed on parasites. Once they eat them all they starve. I'm sure you can try to train the to eat what you feed the others but it's a challenge.

Shrimp are definitely easier but the wrasse can learn to eat pods and other small critters I had a Hawaiian cleaner that ate small pellets

Cleaner shrimp, hands down. Cleaner wrasse are very cool, however their long term prognosis is pretty dismal. Many folks have kept them for a couple of years, myself included.... but that is the exception. Cleaner shrimp on the other hand can be kept in pairs or groups and will breed, providing natural food for your corals.

Yeah but will the shrimp do this for you?
