Alright thanks. Im not really sure where I would get live white worms. I will buy a fresh muscle tomorrow and put it in the tank as you have described and see how he does. After this set of treatment ill remove the Prazi for a few days and monitor him.
Thanks!

Before you put a fresh mussle in the tank, rinse it and brush it well under the luke warm water faucet when it is closed to make sure there is nothing attached to it that you don't want to introduce to your aquarium (they are saltwater live food). Then you open it and split the meat on one side of the shell and cut the mussle in 2. You keep the side of the shell that contain the meat and discard the other shell. Simply tie it to a rock with a rubber band. I usually brush them under warm tap water for a minute or two and make sure I brush everywhere.
You can rinse the meat a little if you wish to remove excedent of mussle juice but not too much as to remove the flavor so the fish will really smell it. just a seconde will be enough for the meat. For the white worms culture, it cen be sent by mail. Usualy someone around you will have a culture and it is easy to start your own culture from that. All it need is a bit of moist top soil with a good part of fine peatmoss (moist) and a container and you feed the worms with a little piece of bread slightly soaked in milk with a few drops of Selcon. That's about it. If you don't find any, you can write me a PM and I can sell you one culture for 10$ plus shipping cost. It would need to be shipped with a heat pad at this time of the year. If your copperband go for the mussle, you will probably not need white worms right away because this is very nutritious fatty food. Quote:

Update
Ok the PraziPro has been out of the tank for 4 days now. My copperband has eaten 3 muscles already and he loves them. He also started eating alot more brine, plankton and mysis as well. I was still noticing small amounts of twitching so I decided to do another round of prazi. I added the Prazi just a few minutes ago and he shook his head around some directly after adding it so that must mean there are some flukes left. It was nothing even close to the effect it had on him last time I added it. I plan on doing two sets of 5-7 day treatments(depending on how things go) and then remove the prazi and wait another few days to verify I finally got them all. I think its going well all fish are eating good. The leopard wrasse has been perfect throughout the process. It has been 4 weeks now since the fish have started quarantine! Im excited for when this is over!

Good to know. Did the copperband gained a bit of weight?
Glad to see he likes mussle because it's a very good and rich food for him. Copperband do twitch from time to time and it might be normal. Although if he's eating well and gaining weight then prazipro will not really be harmfull but I am wondering if he's still has flukes or if it not just a residual irritation or simply a normal behavior at this point.
