Loosing anthias in QT

[spscrackhead]

Hello everyone, I am here looking for some help.
I received 6 female and a single male lyretail anthias, clown goby, stary blenny in an order Tuesday. I lost one female that night, I wrote it off as shipping stress. There were no physical signs of desiese or parasites.
As of today I have lost three female anthias. Two have these markings on them, I believe may be uronema.
What is this?

I started dosing paraguard yesterday as this is my standard QT procedure. I also have prazi pro and cupramine on hand as they are also used in my standard QT practices. Based off what I have found, these don't seem to be of any help. Please correct me if I am mistaken. If this is in fact uronema.

Looks like Uronema.
Formalin in bath form is probably your only chance.
In case of Uronema you may also consider dosing the QT with formalin (at the lower long term bath dosage).

Formalin has been purchased! Thank you for your help.

Is dipping and redosing the qt every other day in correct quantities the correct procedure for this? For 5-6 dip sessions.
I have read a few postings but no one really touches on the qt tank procedure with exacting detail like they do with the dips.
And just for future reference, if treating prophylacticly, would the dips alone be sufficient? Or no, the fish would need to be returned to a qt with formalin in the water?

Nobody has any further advice?

You could try antibiotics to kill the bacteria Uronema feeds on. If you do this you might want to stop dosing the HT with formalin but continue the baths or make sure that the antibiotic can be combined with formalin.

Another thing that you could try is to dose the HT with Chloroquine Phosphate. A preliminary test has shown that CP at double the standard dose kills Uronema on dead fish. Though I'm not sure if I would actually double the dose as that might be harsh on the fish. As a supporting measure to formalin baths, the standard dose may be sufficient.
