Yeah fw dip, if I can catch him. Some guy prazipro-ed his SPS tank without any problems, currently I'm looking at that option.

PraziPro treats for flukes and is suppose to be completely safe, I talked to a few people who used it without any problems.
I remember reading that flukes is like swimmers itch and the whole tank should be treated as appose to isolating and treating one victim.

Thanks guys.
So I've got someone on another board that considers this a heavy infestation and he recommends two freshwater dips a couple days apart before treating with prazipro. I guess the loss of all of the flukes at once is too traumatic for the fish? Any thoughts on this?? I agree though, the whole tank should be treated at this point. None of the other fish are exhibiting any signs of the flukes but better to be safe than sorry.

I've heard that it's reef safe too - the only exception being a mention of xenids and GSP withering due to treatment - but I haven't see anything confirming that.

I'm not sure on the accuracy of the flukes being that serious but I would only remove the fish for a FW dip as a last resort. Personally I would try the treatment first, if that didn't seem to make a difference for the fish then I would try something along the lines of a FW dip.

ok, I would imagine catching the fish would be just as stressful anyways, on both the fish and myself
thanks for the support guys!!
