CLEANER WRASS aka doctor fish will die off once it has done its cleaning by feeding on whiter spots and bacteria on other fishes body.

once its has reach the maximum it can take it will die.

(hope this is correct just a personal observation , dun flame me if wrong)

Nope. Cleaner wrasse feeds on certain parasites on fishes, but NOT white spots or bacteria. In fact, though there are few success cases, it is very difficult to keep them alive in marine tanks and most reefers would advise that they be left in the ocean to clean the fishes in their natural environment. Try not to support their import by buying from the fish shops.

Cheers

Bro Ultra, yours is a nice hawai. cleaner right. True, not easy to keep. So far i got one and managed to keep to alive and feeding on live and frozen brine shrimp. Nevertheless, it has not lost its nature in cleaning the fishes in the tank. Maybe just my luck but what i did is to select one that is bold and go round inspecting fish one. Know i reefer who successfully trained the cleaner to eat veggie(seaweed, etc) and keeping it alive also. All the best. : )

Just keep your finger crossed and pray hard. Hehe. Try to feed a wide variety and hopefully it will like and learn to eat it. All the best. : )
