Hi All
I have a dottyback that I'm pretty sure is loaded with flukes. Thing is, the little turd won't go into my trap, which has been in there 4 days now. I've read the thread on catching fish, and I may try the drain the tank method (even tho I think he will still be able to hide under the live rock) and he sleeps hidden too.

Anyway, my question is, if I don't catch him, will the flukes spread and wipe out everyone in the tank?

What about treating the entire tank with Prazipro? It is reef safe.

Shrimps are ok. If you have feather dusters or Coco worms, there is a chance that you might lose them. I have personally used Prazipro in my display tank with no issues.
