Just bought a Kamohara Blenny from ORA. Went straight into a sterile QT and is frequently scratching its gills. Just curious if anyone else has gotten fish from ORA with flukes? I almost put it straight in the display, not expecting any parasites.
Anyone gotten fish with flukes from ORA?

While I have not heard of any, shipping has impact on fish health and the behavior appears as such.
You can start with a Clean and dark container and give it a 5 minute freshwater dip - same temp as tank its in which will give it temporary relief and allow worms to drop off IF present. After 5 minutes, return fish to where you have it now and look o bottom of container for what looks like fish scales or sesame seeds which would be flukes.

I've not had any issues. If it didn't go through a wholesaler or retailer (where it could have picked anything up) I would contact ORA directly and ask them. My guess is they will know if they have a subclinical case of flukes in their systems.....
