Flat worms/flukes

[Jennie]

i just saw a white thing on one of my dwarf angelfish last night. This morning it is gone but there is a spot of discoloration where I saw the thing. These fish are already in QT so can I dose copper and Prazipro general cure melafix? Also, if it is flat worms will that effect my corals that are in my coral invert QT because these angels were in the same water as some of the corals.

Prazi pro is reef safe. Flukes should not do any harm to corals. The Prazi pro should take care of them. Just watch your skimmer. It will overflow for a week or two when using Prazi.

Should I just turn the skimmer off since I don’t have any fish in there anymore? They are in qt. Or should I just let it run back into the tank? Thanks

You could just turn it off it you plan on adding Prazi to the tank with the corals.

Ok, also my toadstool leather looks mad already will the Prazipro kill it?

I would confirm flukes by performing a FW dip on the angel: https://www.reef2reef.com/threads/freshwater-dip.248898/

No prazi will irritate some corals but they come back almost always. It’s not entirely reef safe but it’s primarily tubeworms and feather dusters it most impacts. Even still, I’ve never lost any of the above and I’ve treated my display with prazi several times!

Ok, well I just put it in my qt coral and invert frag tank and my Xenia and blasto aren’t looking good. My transparent goby is breathing more than usual now.

If goby had flukes it now has holes and that could be part of the stress.

Regarding coral, that’s normal. They should pull through.

Here are pictures of my goby and angelfish. Needless to say I could not get a super clear picture of the angel, she is just too fast. Sorry for the duplicates
