Reefsafe fluke treatment?

I gambled and lost... didn't fully eradicate the fluke infection of my new Potter's angel. The infestation has returned after a week in the display. Removing the fish does not seem to be an option at this point.

He is still eating well so I'm hoping medicated food might give help him fight it off on his own? Any other options?

(I realize 100% eradication isn't possible without a fallow period, but I've seen flukes "disappear" on their own in a healthy, established tank)
 
Many people use praziquantel in reef tanks with little or no problems. It is the treatment of choice for flukes. I have used it in mixed reefs twice. Once with no noticeable problems and the second time my ricordea did not seem to be tolerating it well so I stopped treatment (large water changes and ran carbon) and removed the fish to my quarantine instead.
