I posted a thread a couple days ago about a Japanese Swallowtail Angel having flukes and now I think I am a bit more sure. The question I have now is how I should proceed.
I was told on my previous thread that Praziquantel (Prazipro) is generally safe for DT dosing and won't harm any of my corals or invertebrates long-term. However, I am a new reefer so I am more prone to making mistakes and I don't really know if I want to take that chance. I have a lot of delicate small feather dusters and porcelain crabs in my DT as well.
On the other hand, I do not have access to a quarantine tank. My LFS told me I could toss her into a Rubbermaid bucket with an airstone and administer the dosage that way. Is this correct, and how should I proceed? Would it be similar to dosing in a DT, or is it a different process? Is there anything else I need?
Here is a bit of footage of her swimming. She swims slightly lopsided and twitchy but she eats and breathes normally and seems fine overall. The spot is visible on her left side and there are some white light photos of her on my previous thread.
Any advice is appreciated!
