I had a yellow tang with black spot and I took him out and gave him a fresh water dip and put him in a 10 gal tank for about a week, if I remember correctly. And returned him to the main tank and never saw it again on him.

It's no big deal to adjust the ph. I just don't want to leave the fish in too long. Thanks for everyone's input, I'll let you know how things turn out.

They'll be fine for much longer than 4 minutes, but 4 minutes was what I found to be adequate for complete removal of the flatworms.

What are the odds that the cleaner shrimp I ordered will remidy this for me? They will be here tomorrow.

The odds are zero.
What's up? Half a dozen reefers have given you the same advice?
Have you dipped your yellow tang?

Whats up is that I can't catch him. I will continue trying its just that I'll have to rip down the entire tank to do so.

How big is he Danny?

If he's small enough, get an empty Coca-Cola 2l bottle, rip off the label, cut off the top, rinse it etc. and put it in the tank with some mysis or other favourite food. Yank it out when he swims into it (you'll only get 1 or 2 shots at this before he clues in).

If he's too big for a pop bottle trap, maybe get some clear acrylic or glass even for baffles, whatever you may have lying around or whatever is easiest to get ahold of, and then corral him into the pop bottle or net.

Good luck!
