Yes but he only said that they are sensitive to overdosing of prazi not prazi itself and if you are worried about overdosing prazi just use GC it has prazi at the correct dose.
If you are treating a known prazi sensitive species (ex. wrasse), you can run carbon or perform a water change 24 hours after dosing in order to limit exposure time. While praziquantel does remain active in the water column for up to 72 hours, only 24 hours are needed for it to eradicate external worms. Don't forget to still do the second round though!

What kind of wrasses have you treated? There is a lot of anecdotal evidence that wrasses can be sensitive to ALL MEDS - including Prazipro. Flasher/Fairy Wrasses seem to be the most delicate.
All my wrasses go through prazi from fairy’s to leopards and never had a problem that was caused by prazi.
Are you using Prazipro or GC on them??
Would GC be safer to use than Prazi? I read do not overdose Prazi alot but never on GC.. Is Prazi more effective hence better than GC?
With 2 clowns showing no signs of flukes, would a fresh water dip be better to see if they have flukes at all? And if no flukes seen after dip, then safe to say they have none and move to CP with no Prazi or could they still be on the fish after the dip even with none present in water after the dip? Not sure I made sense on that example..
If no sign of flukes in freshwater dip, is it safe to say no flukes and move on to CP?
https://www.reef2reef.com/threads/flukes-–-general-guidelines.224423/#post-2594743Do you guys have references for it only taking 24 hours to eradicate external worms? How about references for how long it stays in the water column? I'd like to read more about it. Thanks.
...While praziquantel does remain active in the water column for up to 72 hours, only 24 hours are needed for it to eradicate external worms...
Still can't find any further information on this. Also what about how long is needed to eradicate internal parasites?
