Ich/Flukes are so much fun

I agree on ich and paraguard not effective nor recommended.
You will need to place fish in Quarantine tank and treat with Coppersafe or Copper Power at therapeutic level 2.25 for a FULL 30 days (do not interrupt this 30 day period) monitored with a Hanna Brand copper test kit- No API brand. Also monitor Ammonia levels while in quarantine with a reliable test kit and add aeration during treatment using an air stone. All other fish in with it should also be removed as they have also been exposed to the parasites and placed in quarantine tank.
The display tank will have to be kept fishless (FALLOW) for 6-8 weeks to assure the existing parasites go through their life cycle without a host fish and die off. Inverts and coral can remain in the display (not treatment) tank during fallow period.
Thank you tank is fallow i will dose copper

Water changes. Try 2-3 gallon water changes daily for 10-14 days and see where your levels are then at
 
Thank you for the advice i noticed ammonia was coming up so i will pull alot from my sump and put it in there i have a lot of rocks ill also dose micro bacter and prime then i will dose copper some time next week here are pics of some fish for a better view
I would not use Prime - it is not compatible with many copper products and may not be as effective in changing ammonia. A water change would be more prudent to reduce ammonia. Or the addition of 'bottled bacteria'
