I used a med called sick fish from Golds that is reef safe and doesn't turn the water yellow and it worked for me. I had 2 fish totally covered and they cleared right up. It is a bit expensive though, but was worth it since it worked.

I would plan on doing what you are already doing. I have tried the No Sick Fish in the past and it was somewhat effective but I don't really know if it is worth the money you pay for it. Make sure that you are adding garlic and vitamin c to your food and that will help boost there immunity. If it starts to look really bad it might be a good idea to give the fish a fresh water dip. We have found this to be very effective in the past. Make sure that the water you use is at the same temp and alkalinity of your current tank so help reduce stress and make sure that it is very well oxygenated. Leave the fish in the water for 2-5 minutes depending on how well it is adapting to the dip. The fish may panic a little bit at first but it will eventually settle down and lay on its side at the bottom of the water. Good Luck!
