Thanks for the info Paul. I decided not to catch the fish out of the display as it would just be too much stress on him. He was stressed out just with me standing in front of the tank taking pictures. I found some prazipro and dosed the tank this afternoon. I was just down feeding the tank now (he's eating even more than he was yesterday) and the majority of the flukes are already gone except for a few on his tail and one or two on his eye. There is a bit of residual looking damage to his side where it looks a bit raw and abraded but I think as long as I can keep him eating he'll likely be fine.
To be honest, after my last QT fiasco I can't really say I was overjoyed at that option and decided to give the tank treatment a go, esp since the other fish were "potentially" infected or at least exposed to the flukes.
Successful so far! The bottle says treatment for 5-7 days so I'll likely let it go for 5 or so then run carbon and do a waterchange.
