Blonde Naso QT HELP

[Reef23]

Is there a chance the fish doesn't have ich at all?
All the pics online don't look like the spots my tang has. He has large white patches not small sand like white spots. I will post pics this morning

There is always a chance that your tang does not have ick. But there is always a chance that it has nastier disease. Marine velvet could wipe out your tank within days. Flukes could spread to the rest of the fish in your tank and internal parasites like worms could spread in your system and slowly killing all your fish without you noticing. And you could have missing fish from time to time due to unknown reasons.

For long term success, I'd suggest everyone to QT. It's a pain but it's worthwhile. Now I am guessing that no other fish has been QT'ed before. Do a research on prazipro and if possible treat all of your fish with it. It help deworms the fish and also treats fluke. I believe it's a reef safe med but don't quote me for it, look it up.

I would just treat your naso with prazipro and observe your fish during the 7 days treatment and see if other complications arises. Since your main display might have ick already it MIGHT not be worth your extra time to do a full 6 weeks hypo. But at least keep it in your QT for a couple of weeks to avoid fast killing disease.

Prazipro is reef safe. I used it to treat my copperband butterfly and I had all sort of coral in there...SPS, acropora, montipora, soft and LPS. The only thing that really did not like the treatment was my xenia wich shriveled but survived and after the treatement it was well again.

I did 3 treatment for fluke and also some really long wom came out of my fish so it did have internal worms. Even my feather dusters were fine, and it did not affect the flatwoms either..unfortunatly.

You added prazipro right to your display tank ?

ok, he is looking alot better today with alittle bit of blotchy skin but thats it. He is eating red/green nori soaked in garlic without issue. I have him just in Hypo no meds. Here is a few pics, let me know what you think....
Not the best pics but lighting in my fishroom isnt the greatest.

Call me nuts but those are just typical marking, stress brings them out. Mine would go dark dark with those white blotches everynight after the lights go out. They almost have a pattern to them the way they appear, not random.
