I like the Milbemax idea as that is available on the shelf. Just be careful when calculating the dose as an overdose could cause toxicity to other animals in the tank.

You absolutely bring valid points to the thread.
What I don't like about Milbemax is you end up dosing Praziquantel as well. Lots of people use Praziquantel in reef tanks for flukes, but I'm leery - one medication is bad enough.
