Hey there! So I have a tailspot Blenny that I added into my tank yesterday from my lfs. Today I noticed he has been flashing on the live rock and breathing heavily when he goes in his little hiding spot. From what I see he doesn’t have any white spots, fin damage, or any noticeable discoloration. His poop has been a stringy, but brown. Could this possibly be some sort of internal parasite?

FYI Unfortunately I don’t have a quarantine tank yet…. He is housed with soft corals(zoas,gsp,Xenia,), a Duncan, Royal Gramma, and Diamond watchman
 
I was noticing flashing on my firefish. Then I noticed it on my tailspot a day later. After asking around, the consensus was that flukes were likely the culprit. So I dosed PraziPro twice, according to their instructions. It was very easy, and it was reef safe for my anemone. All of my fish stopped flashing, and the tank seems good a week later.
