Flame Angel scratching..what is this?

I put my Flame Angel into a QT June 5th because he contracted Brooklynella. I did a series of formalin dips and he pulled through. In order to avoid a cycling tank I used a filter pad that was in another QT that was housing a wrasse. A week later I saw the Flame and wrasse scratching. I dosed Prazipro in both QTs and literally saw a fluke peel off the wrasse. I dosed every 5 days for over 2 weeks...didn't work. I've done several different prazipro protocols to no avail. I did a formalin dip on the Flame and he seemed ok for a week but today he started scratching again. I did a FW dip on him for 5 minutes and do not see any flukes (using a microscope).
What could be causing this scratching? He has been alone for 2 months.
