Wrasse Question

[evolved]

Quarantined for a month. Treated with copper safe and prazipro. The mccoskers had white stringy poop, so also soaked food in metro using focus for 14 days straight.

That sounds pretty sufficient.
It's possible the exquisite was their demise. I would be a bit surprised by that, but it's certainly possible.

Its been a little over a week, and I have barely seen the orange back. In the past three days I have not seen it at all. Is it time to go looking for a body?

I just found the orange back dead. Am I doing something wrong with this fish? This was my third one. First died in qt. Second died in dt acclimation box. This last one died in dt after skipping acclimation box.

Have they all came from the same source? There might be a more systemic issue if so.

Twice from saltwaterfish.com. Once from liveaquaria. I just posted in the how to quarantine thread, that a freshwater dip confirmed flukes. How could that be after two rounds of prazipro?

Prazi resistant flukes, while uncommon, are possible. :(

How would I prevent this from happening again then?

And at least the exquisite has been proved innocent :)

General cure, or use metro as well. (but you said you did such?)

And of course it's also possible the flukes are already in your DT.
