Hello fellow reefers the topic explains my current situation.
I have a 75g Reef tank that has been running for just shy of 8 months. It was stocked with 2 clowns, 2 purple firefish, long nose hawk, kole tang, and red coris wrasse. The wrasse is the newest member of the tank but I believe the kole is who brought the disease in. I purchased the tang from my LFS and he was there for over a month and in my tank for over a month. I noticed something a little off about him last week but was unsure and tried to keep and eye on him but as the holidays set in I wasn't home very often. Today I pulled one of the clowns and attempted a freshwater dip as it was the only thing I could do. It was unsuccessful but the fish was in really bad shape he only survived for a few hours. I went looking for the tang and found him in his usual hiding spot dead, he was alive yesterday.
My main question is can the other species of fish get Brooklynella as all of them look 100% healthy. They go about their normal business and show no signs of anything. From what I read the tang, clowns and wrasse are susceptible. Do I need to attempt to pull the remaining firefish(2), longnose hawk into my hospital tank for treatment. Im going to do my best to pull the wrasse but I'm unsure how successful I will be.
