That's gotta feel good to have off!

That is exactly what we said. I hope he feels better.

For isopoda and copepoda parasites could try an insecticidal parasite medication. I found them rather immune to osmotic shock when attached. In regards to a fw dip.

Yup; Dimilin or Dylox

did you add any other livestock to the tank after the yellow tang?
