Ok thanks a bunch. Is it normal for them to continue breathing real heavy after the dip? Once back in the quarantine?Every 48 hours so long as you are seeing red sores.

I’d just wait it out. I know that’s hard to do but there isn’t much more you can do.This morning I dosed two scoops of metro, still feeding GC, and dosed one pouch of Furan 2. As of 9:00 pm my wrasse was still alive and if he makes it through the night I will FW dip also. Any other effective treatments for Uronema?

To clarify, if caught in QT, is it reasonable to expect this disease can be eradicated completely from a fish before going to DT?
I lost all 6 of the chromis I was quarantining. I think it's important to have the meds on hand at the first sign or even start treating before signs are visible. I had to wait 2 days after mine started showing signs and I think it was too late at that pointTo clarify, if caught in QT, is it reasonable to expect this disease can be eradicated completely from a fish before going to DT?

Yes, but you'll need to use Chloroquine or dose metronidazole every 48 hours for 10-14 days to be dang sure. I don't think most baths (even formalin) eliminate 100% of the parasites on the fish. The fish usually needs follow-up treatment post bath.
I lost a Royal Gramma with some redness shortly after receiving it, like within 24hr. It was in my QT with a handful of Anthias. I'm treating the Anthias food now with Metro and Kana (w/ Focus). Not sure it's Uronema or maybe it was just bacterial.
I'm not sure if I should react per above and think it's Uronema or if I continue with my normal QT treatments and monitor. Maybe add some Metro dosing at the end?
Will feeding meds treat the fish and keep them alive or does it need to be in the water to help the fish? I know I'll need to treat the water to treat the source but not sure if, while on meds, I should expect to see symptoms or not.
Also, what about a water treatment and then a tank transfer before it wears off?
Is there really any way to be sure a dreaded red spot on a fish is Uronema vs bacterial? Any specific signs that might point toward one vs the other?
My less than good photos probably don't give any hints as to which it may be I suppose?
It could go either way. If this was my fish, I would give him a Rally bath and then start dosing Kanaplex + Metroplex + Furan-2 into a QT.
That strategy will address both uronema and bacterial.
