I have a flasher wrasse that has stopped eating. Yesterday he was stricking(flashing) the sand bed. He does not have the typical white spots I would expect with ick. I previously had a tang that had the same symptoms (he died 2 days ago). He never had any white spots either but he did strike the sand etc. I am thinking flukes. I was able to get the wrasse out of the tank this evening and did a fresh wAter bath x 10 mins. I noticed lots of almost translucent oval shapes in the water after.

Translucent oval shapes are usually indicative of flukes. Prazi is the standard treatment. Since this is a wrasse I caution to be very careful with dosing and water changes. They have been known not to handle Prazi as well as others.
I have 3 other fish in the tank. All seem to be healthy but 2 of them are flashing as well. It most likely will not be possible to get them out of the tank (lots of rock work secured together). I will most likely have to dose the DT with prazipro. I have read that people have done this with some success. Anyone have any problems with their corals and prazipro?
