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.

Glad to hear that he's eating!!
Keep an eye on the secondary infection. It can turn into a bacterial infection quickly and that's not good. I would feed him often in small quantities so that he has the energy to fight both the fluke and the infection. Do you soak your food in vitamins? If not maybe try doing that and also some garlic guard as well. Ich tends to rear it's ugly head at this stage as well. I hate to be a downer and I just want you to know and be prepared just in case. He's eating is a great sign of recovery. What is the temperature in your tank?

Yep I soak my food in garlic, no selcon to be had around here. Currently the tank is about 77-78. I think thats about as low as I want to go. He seems pretty active so hopefully with the extra feedings he'll recover fine

Any update on this I think my clown might have it looks like the same thing?
Not as bad but looks like there is one on her.

Took about 4 days for the last "suspect" to fall of the raccoons tail. After 5 days I did a 30 gallon waterchange and started running carbon. Everything in the tank is A-OK and fluke free!
