A Sunburst Anthias was always on my wishlist so when a good deal appeared I picked one up. I've always been concerned with Uronema since Anthias are susceptible to the disease. Prophylactic treatment seems like a good idea but I'm unsure of the plan. My thought was to get him eating well then start 30 day coppersafe with the first 10 days combined with Metroplex. Once the 30 days are up and copper removed I'll follow with two treatments of Prazipro. Can anyone share their view or if they've QT'd Anthias what procedure you followed.

I'm not a big fan of copper either. I've ran it successfully but I lost a wrasse in QT a few weeks ago. Did you have any problems getting your Anthias to eat?
