Mimic blenny flashing against substrate and tail biting

I have a mimic blenny that appears to flash a lot against the rocks. It also curves it head around to its tail and appears to bite at it's tail.

Is this indicative to flukes? I haven't had any luck trapping it. Usually it sleeps in a shell at night. Of course it no longer does this since I decided too catch and put in qt.
 
Flashing and tail biting could be flukes or cryptocaryon (marine ich). How long have you had this fish, and was in quarantined (if so, how long etc.)?

I've had the fish in my system for about 4 months I believe. Prior to that I did the tank transfer method. I have two assessors that were in the tank already. They do not exhibit any of the symptoms. I also treated my display with chloroquine prior to releasing the fish.
