Reef safe as in display tank? Or quarantine still. And thank you for the info. I thought maybe it was black ich.

Prazi is mostly reef safe. Sometimes, SPS will retract, but f the invertebrates are healthy going in to a treatment, losses are rare. Setting up a treatment tank on the fly and moving all the fish over for 45 days is pretty rough on the fish.

Black ich has more defined edges to the spots. These are not treated well by prazi.

The spots on the sailfin could be from skin flukes. Gill flukes will cause rapid breathing, but body flukes don't.

Treating with praziquantel is something you might consider - that drug is mostly reef-safe and it could help with this issue.

Dosing Praziquantel (PZQ)

Using Praziquantel (PZQ) to treat flukes Overview In the early 1990’s, a researcher at the New York Aquarium published a paper on using Praziquantel (PZQ) to help control flukes, a parasitic flatworm. Also known as monogenean trematodes, these fish parasites can cause significant mortality in...

One last question, to my understanding, you dose the tank with prazi one time? Or how often?
