deworming through feeding

[MvM]

Is there an effective way to deworm a wrasse through feeding? I have a flame wrasse that was QT but not treated with Prazi Pro. Can I soak the food in something that won't harm a reef but will deworm the wrasse if he does in fact have worms?

Gutloaded live brine. Easiest way I know of.

I take a shot glass of brine, add 1/2 teaspoon of PraziPro, let it sit for about an hour then feed. If you let it sit longer than a few hours you will need to re-"feed" the PraziPro to the brine.

I'm not that desperate :eek1:
Thanks!
Do I need to worry about any of the PraziPro getting into the water of a reef tank? It's only a 34 gallon, so even a little might cause harm. It's mainly sps and clams.

Ive treated a tank with tons of sps and clams with no problems with prazi pro. its well worth just treating the whole tank, better safe then sorry

Only thing PraziPro "might" upset is Dusters & Worms. When I did it, none of the duster in my tank were affected.

It's a standard measurement (1oz) in a glass container. Works good & cleans easy.

I know. I was kidding. Thanks for the info.
I might try the gut loaded brine first, then if the fish actually shows signs of worms, I'll treat the whole tank.

I want to deworm my puffer, and trigger. I was going to try to remove them, and put them in a hospital tank, but if you can treat in a reef????
How could I get it in there food? They wont go for brine. Can you just soak their food?
