This is a testiment to no matter how much you dip your corals or frags reguardless who they come, disease's and parasites can and do get through.
I got some stuff from a buddy, not sure which one it is, but I acquired what apeared to be parasitic isopods. First BuckieTang appeared to be the only afflected by it and I hessitated to do any kind of treatment becuase I am rearranging everything. I got the sixline wrasse to help with the problem and it appeared to have done the trick. I was totally wrong. Now my tank is crawling with these parasites, ALL of my fish are afflected now. So I was taking down the tank to put all the fish in a QT and went to find Buckie, and he was no where to be found. SO I tore it down more and found it with large "raw" patches and he wasn't swimming, so I went ahead and put him in the QT thinking he would be ok. I have the tank about half full of water with a small powerhead for flow while I was getting all the fish out, and he didnt have the strength to swim away from the powerhead, so I moved it and he just layed there barely breatheing. I left him alone for a little while, while I hunted for the other fish. Got the clowns out, that little wrasse is no where to be seen, but I bet he's wedged in a rock somewhere so I am going to have to finish this the hardway.
I went to check on Buckie, and he was worse, so I knew what had to be done. He is now in that big ocean in the sky.
RIP BuckieTang
