Sorry to hear that, GL with the rest of them.
I got the rest from an lfs, they were kept in a copper treated tank, so a little better off than the angel. I am nervous about doing the dip to the blue tang I have in QT though, any tips to make it less stressful? I was thinking acclimate to the DT, then FW dip? Or maybe treat it with prazipro JIC. The Niger trigger is tough, so I am not too worried. Half an hour is the correct dip time, right?

If it were me, I'd skip the dip and treat with Prazipro. It is a very safe medication and well-tolerated by all fish. It not only treats flukes, but also internal parasites, anchor worms and black ich.

Agreed. A dip is performed to inspect the fish to see what it might be hosting, although if the fish has an obvious bad case of flukes a FW dip will knock off a large amount of them instantly, which will calm the fish considerably.

I generally FW dip for about ten minutes.

Most of the guides I saw said 30, the fish was in about 15-20. I found it on its side in the corner of the tank, so it was likely a goner anyways :(
