How is Brooklynella transmitted in QT through medications?

[TheWalkingCoral]

I currently have a small clown in QT being treated with Metroplex for Brooklynella. Is the parasite completely destroyed by this medication or is it continually stored in the water column/fish even after treatment? My DT has to fallow for 6 weeks and I don't want to risk reinfection in the future. But from what I have gathered is regardless of how well your fish look, if there is fish there is Brook. Am I to assume after 2 weeks of treatment with Metroplex and a big water change the clown is free of Brooklynella and will not risk reinfection of DT?

Thanks in advance! This has been on my mind for days and I can not find anything to go off.

Brooklynella hostilis (updated 6-9-2023) What You Need To Know: * This is most often seen with clownfish, but it can afflict other fish (usually in the gills) as well. When a clownfish has Brook, the skin will appear to be peeling or sloughing off. Which is actually excess white mucous coming...

Thats so cool Yep. A freshwater dip is frequently used to temporarily rid the fish of parasites. Looks scary the first time you do it. https://www.reef2reef.com/threads/freshwater-dip.248898/
