There isn't much information out there (that I could find) about why certain fish don't get it. Some fish aren't appealing to the certain parasites while others are. This time around it was my tang that introduced it, my clown got it worse and my lionfish only got a bit. Before, my manderine never got it while my psudochrimis got it and fought it off every time. It may have something to do with their scales but I can't be sure.

Just think if you were a parasite, and you had your choice of food, you'd pick the most tasty and easiest to aquaire, right?
