Camallanus Worm Treatment Please

If it's not one thing it's another. Saw Camallanus "hanging out" with my yellow tang today. Before it detached, went through the powerhead and blew all over the tank.

How do you treat this?

You could try feeding your tang and other fish with medicated foods API general cure with seachem focus as a binder. If sure it’s callamanus worms then you may have to separate the fish and treat water with antibiotics like prazi as well. Any other symptoms?

For persistent worms fenbendazole usually works pretty well, levamisole is the go to choice but may not be tolerated as well by all fish and is very toxic to inverts so I would only use in a QT.

Yeah thats what I have read thank you.

The timing is less than ideal. My qt has other tangs in it.

My other 2 qt are for coral.

I just moved old tanks into 150 when I noticed it.

Might just bind in food and feed into the 150. I dont think wife would appriciate another tank to look after as I work out of town as well :O
