If your fish has quite a few spots already then it is in the tank. If it is a reef tank then your options are limited.
You can keep water conditions optimal, feed garlic and selcon and let it run it's course. I have heard of UV sterilizers helping in some cases. You can quarantine and treat with copper. You must leave the tank empty for 8 to 10 weeks I believe. You can also treat with hyposalinity (reducing the salinity to a level where the parasites can't survive) ***not in reef tank I'm no expert and I'm sure others will speak up if I missed anything important. I have only had the problem once in my 33 gal reef. My Royal gramma and firefish got spots. Lost the gramma, everything else survived....2 clowns, engineer goby, damsel, chromis. That was over 5 months ago. HTH Blaine
