generally, parasites exhibit commensalism, which is where the parasite receives all the benefit from the relationship. When cleaner fish eat parasites of larger fish, its because the larger fish NEED to have the parasites cleaned off. etc. etc. Parasites almost if not always have a negative effect on their host, therefore it would be undesirable to have one.
hope that helps!
