Tank mates think my new Snowflake is a cleaner fish

I just got my new snowflake moray eel into the DT today. The fish in the tank are obsessed with him. They wont leave him alone. They are not attacking him, its like they think he is a cleaner fish and keep presenting themselves to him to try to get him to clean them. My Anthias are the worst about it. They will literaly lay on his face or his body. Just plop themselves down on him.

In this clip you can even see one of the Anthias laying on the back part of his body.

I'm unable to watch the video (Safari/Mac thing), but it sounds hilarious.

Yeah he has been in the tank for a few hours now and the Athinas are always trying to lay on him. The Racoon Butterfly presses hard up against his side. A Lavender Tang also keeps trying to get his attention and press up against him. Seems like only the Mollies give him space. But they would not let cleaners near them before. Missing instincts I suspect.
