Flukes?

[wsureefer]

I think I had flukes come in my tank with one of my corals. All fish were fine until my most recent additions to the tank. Now my two clownfish shake almost like having a seizure. The other fish in the system are not doing this. These fish have been in my system for almost a year and all fish additions since them have gone through a strict qt. being treated with Prazipro and going through TTM. I tried to catch both fish to FW dip them to verify fluke but had not luck. My question is can I treat the DT. My biggest worries are my Sebae anemone, clam, hammer coral, acans, and cleaner shrimp.

No one has any idea if I can run Prazipro in my DT and not lose my anemone or clam?

That shaking is mating behavior, not a sign of a flukes infection.

I suggest you read up on the fish you add to your tank (ideally before adding them).
It is important to be able to tell normal from abnormal behavior.

As for medicating the DT - Bad Idea!

Not sure if it's flukes but prazipro is the only thing I would dose the DT with. I've done it a couple times without any major problems. Only my bta will close up for about an hour and my xenia will close up for a day. Then all good after that.

Normal behavior for clownfish.
