Sick clownfish..help!

[jorge18]

Hi Everyone,

I've had my tank set up for about 3 months now. I have two blue sapphire damsels and two (captive bred) clowns along with some hermits, snails, a cleaner shrimp and a peppermint shrimp.

A couple of days ago one of my clowns started acting strange and now seems to be getting worse. It has a white spot near his mouth and white stringy poop. Everything I've read seems to point me to some sort of parasite.

Here's a short video of the clown:

I'm thinking about treating the fish with Prazipro, thoughts?

BTW, I tested the water and all parameters are good. PH is at 8.

I would highly recommend using PraziPro for both internal worms as well as other parasites. I'm pretty sure that's a fluke and Prazi will kill them, however there are some flukes that will need a triple dose of Prazi and was said to do per one of the chemists who works with Prazi. I did a thread on this a few months ago. GO ahead and use the normal dose and if you still have flukes a few days after your big WC then let us know and I'll dig it up for you. Prazi is completely reef safe so you can use it without worry about harming anything in your tank.
