Fluke Verification Extreme CloseUp

Just fresh water dipped my Lemon Peel Angel for 5 min before placing in the quarantine setup. Strained the water and collected these. Looks like flukes to me. Just looking for validation.

Looks like a good probability as flukes represent sesame seeds an/or fish scales. Treat with PraziPro and dose at 85% of recommended and allow it to work for 7 days, change water and apply one more application lasting 7 days and do add an air stone as Prazi lowers both oxygen and appetite

Sorry - the pics aren’t clear enough for me to see details. Here’s the thing, there is only one common marine fluke that you can see without a microscope - Called Neobenedenia. I just posted an article about them. At the top of that post is a photomicrograph of one - maybe you can determine if that’s what you have in the net:

Thank you for the link. Very good information. Not sure what I'm going to do now since all the other fish will most likely become infected. May be easier to take the inverts out and treat the entire display tank with hyposalinity method.

Next time, leave them at the bottom of the container or carefully transfer a few of them to a smaller container (still submerged) with dark background. Then take a close up photo (a regular phone camera is fine). It makes identifying them much easier.

If the tank just has easily removable invertebrates, then hyposalinity would be the best treatment. However, if you have a lot of corals or expensive live rock, then prazi might be a better option to try first. You’ll need to dose it 3x - sometimes 4, and that doesn’t always control it though.
