Does my tang have parasites

I'd consider a PraziPro treatment for the display. You would know almost immediately if it will be effective or not. My hunch is that you may need Metronidazole for treatment which you can mix in with food and feed it in the reef too. Lucky for you, it doesn't look like Ich or Velvet.

Thanks all of you for the thoughts.
In the last few days I got the fish out, put it on wet paper and picked the worms as mush as I could in 2 minutes then put it back in water. I also did one fresh water dip for 150 seconds.
The fish seemed to be happier, swimming around, picking on the rock... for a few days. Now I see some worms pops up again.
I already have Prazipro but hesitate to use since it does work on anchor worm. Im waiting for my Cyropro.
Hi Myka, is it too toxic for the fish if I treat it with prazipro first and then cyropro?

Did you inspect/identify the parasite under magnification?

Yes I did. I had been unsuccessfully searching the web. for marching case with picture. But I decided to dose Cyropro today anyway.
Thanks
