They might try to pick off the parasite after it erupts thru the slime coat, but by then the damage has been done to the fish. I don't think they can help much...but better than nothing.

Filter feeders would have some effect but I think you would need a ton in order for it to make any noticeable difference. (not sure on this one though)There is far less downside with cleaning shrimp and wrasses than any chemical solution. I have also heard that the number of filter feeders in the tank can have some effect?
