Coral Beauty multiple illness?

[skabooya]

Alright so i got a closer look at her. Her eye is clearing up. its almost clear now. Her body is still the same with a slime coat and she is pale.
She is eating very well and swimming normally but she is uncomfortable. She didnt act uncomfy yesterday. Today she is shaking her head around a bit and scratching herself against the skimmer. Not the rocks.

Personally, I would try giving her a PraziPro dip. I am suspecting flukes and/or worms. In a couple days if that doesn't help I would put her in a QT using water from the tank she is in now, at normal salinity, and treat her with PraziPro for the full treatment listed on the bottle.

Alright, so on my shopping list I should have:
Prazi Pro
Garlic extreme
a broad spectrum treatment
Melafix


Yes?

Ok so shaking of the head and flashing and body is pale. common signs of flukes I would get Prazi-pro
garlic extreme
and selcon
Meds will not do a thing against flukes.
you can have it on have just in case If you dip a FW dip some of the flukes will come off and you can conferm that she has them this will also help while you are waiting to get some Prazi-pro. Prazi-pro dip is not a recommended treatment rather a tank treatment is recommended treatment the container says you can treat for 5 - 7 day I have done it twice and I would go for the full 7 day treatment. If you have to use the powder version it is the same treatment but you have to use it in a QT where you can use prazi-pro in the DT, I would only do this if you can not catch her quickly get her into a QT all treatment should be carried out in a QT if possible.

Ok so because i know i wont be going to the lfs this week (next town over) I ordered from JLA . I will be getting the following in the middle of the week
prazi pro
selcon\
garlic extreme
melafix

Melifix is good for open wounds and fungus treatment and can aid with the fight against Ick. I have had to treat my DT with Prazi-pro before to treat for Flukes nothing died my Nem consumed him self for a while that is what my kids thought. the nem retracted and hid for the week I use prazi-pro and came out when treatment was over, about 2 days after skimmer and carbon was back in use. corals didn't really care about the treatment I think these are good things to know. as far as corals I had in the tank at the time there were:
montipora caps
frog spawn and a hammer.
some mushrooms
some soft corals
I had snails, shrimps and hermits which after the second or third day just climbed in their shells and waited till the treatment finished, I almost forgot about that.

Well the meds havent showed up yet. Its only tuesday anyway. The CB is looking sooo much better on her own. She isint as pale and is not flashing anymore. I havent seen her rubbing on anything yet either. she is still eating like a pig and swimming normally.
Im still going to treat her anyway. It looks like i will have to treat the entire tank though. Catching her is going to be pretty impossible lol

shes good as new

I would say good to hear sorry I have not been able to respond sooner as I have been doing some courses. Watch your tank in about 2 weeks if it was flukes it may come back the cycle can very but 2 weeks is a good time to pay extra attention to your fish. Feed them the garlic extreme and selcon it help them build their a-mun system and prevent disses like hole in the head. Things are very hard to give a treatment regiment advise over the internet I have come across a couple sites that no one will answer these types of questions unless you can provide all tank test results and a pic..
