I am very sorry for you Mike

I had been going through this disease several times in this hobby too. It really sucks when you lost a Kole tang after having it for 10 years.
Very sorry Mike.

I'm really sorry... I hope everything takes a turn for the better. Don't jump ship just yet!

IME, this doesn't ever take a turn for the better. Your fish die. Usually all of them. After my bout, I will not put a fish in my tank that has not been quarantined and treated. Period.

What if you run a uv sterilizer? Maybe you'll be able to save some of the stronger fish

I'd say at this point, if it's MV, it's too late.

so what about the fish that hasn't been hit and the shrimp too.

Mike, when I got hit, all the fish except 1 goby got it. I was able to catch them all and start treatment, but not in time and lost most. I saved a pair of clowns, a yellow tang, a damsel and hmm, that's it. Some fish didn't show signs the same day, but within 3 days, all fish (except the goby) had signs.

If you have a UV, there's certainly no harm throwing it on, but I don't think it's going to help at this point.
