Neurological issue could make sense perhaps but if the midas blenny keeps flashing.. could have more than one issue.

Most flukes do not show in a freshwater dip. I believe it is just 1 kind if my memory is intact.
You might be right. I've been wonder if there are two or more diseases going on too. The blue cleaner goby is always on the fairy wrasse picking something off. It was on the flasher wrasse cleaning as well before it died.

I just checked out the UNWD thread over in the disease forum. There a few videos of fairy wrasses doing the exact same thing that mine is doing. Seems like there is nothing I can do. The flasher wrasse was not behaving this way though - it was scratching on rocks and hiding, so probably different.

I hate to do it but I might have to euthanize the fairy wrasse soon. I will probably wait a few weeks before adding any new fish just to see if there is something still in the tank that is attacking the remaining fish.

Midas blenny is now dead with no obvious signs of disease. So that is all three fish that I added three weeks ago dead. It was eating fine today and swimming around without any issues but I found it dead on the sand tonight. I did notice today that the blue cleaner goby has some white spots on it - I'm thinking it's velvet but I will get a picture tomorrow and post in the fish disease forum to see what people think. I have Copper Safe and PraziPro ordered and the QT tank is mixing saltwater as I type.

I just read through your whole thread and I’m enjoying your progress. Sad to hear about the recent troubles though. I went through something similar recently and lost a few fish. I’m no fish doctor but the combo that finally seems to have stabilized my situation was two full courses of prazipro in the display 8 days apart as well as only feeding medicated quad flakes from Everything Aquatic for 14 days. Kept the uv and skimmer off for most of that time and used an air stone. I hope you find a solution that works.
