sounds like flukes here to me too. Prazi-pro can be used in a reef tank the only thing that I have had react to it was a Nem but he just closed up and bounced back. If it is flukes you will have to do 3 treatments 1 now one in 7 day and another in 3 weeks. to get all the eggs. so do a 5 day treatment with air off to the skimmer run a air stone in the sump no carbon. after the 5 days turn air on in the skimmer and run carbon then after 2-3 days treat again for 5 day. after 3 week from start of the first treatment start the last treatment for 5 days. that should do it for the flukes. Prazi-pro will also treat for other parasites so if you don't know exactly what it is but you do know it's a parasite then do the prazi-pro treatment. I have used it to treat flukes in my old 55g DT after getting a fish with them it was one of the first fish I added to the tank after cycle the 2 other fish fared well. I think I stressed him to much trying to catch him and get him in the QT and then it was down hill from there. so I had to treat the DT for the flukes as they were in there for sure as the clowns started shaking their heads swimming erratically.

Whatever it is, my damsel has it now. I don't like the damsel (been trying to catch him for a while) but....
The first sign is white spots on the tail and a generally rought looking body mucus. I can't catch the fish and I can't put copper in the tank.I have to go to work and don't get back until ~9pm so I can't really empty the tank and then catch the fish. That said, anything I can't treat in the tank is going to run it's course and there's not much I can do about it. oh happy days.....

Ok so I ran over to Pisces (it's a few blocks from me) and found prazi-pro but the guy I was speaking with recommended a different line (Microbe-Lift) which had complementary products -"Artemiss" which covers fin rot, fungus, milky skin etc. and "Herbtana" which treats parasitic infections like ich and flukes.
All natural and completely reef safe. I've dosed the Artemiss and will does the Herbtana tonight and see if I can nail this.
