My 100 gallons mixed reef tank (sump included) has been around for almost 1 year. Previously had ich tank, I treated with Polyblab Medic, fed fully, fish passed without any loss. I have 2 clownfish, maroon, scopas tang, blue tang, sailfin tang, yellow foxface, two spot bristletooth, powder blue tang, 2 banggai and some inverts. Sometimes the blue tang has a few white spots that go away on their own, or the foxface has a black spots that go away on their own after a few days.
About 1 month ago I added 1 purple tang without QT (for various reasons I just couldn't QT any fish despite knowing the great risk).
1 week ago PBT started to show white spots that are getting worse, breathing is difficult. I took him out to the freshwater DIP and found quite a few things that looked like flatworms. I started QT and treated with Chloroquin Phosphate, he died after 2 days. Then two spot bristletooth and foxface started to show convulsions, swimming near the wave, I also DIP fresh water. Started treating the main tank with PraziPro, after 3 days I couldn't believe that nearly all tangs I had was seriously ill. They still eat but less. What can I do? I have just water change 25% and repeat dose 2nd Prazipro. Thank you for any help!

Hello, welcome to Reef2Reef!

It may be that you have two issues going on here, chronic marine ich and tang turbellarian worms. I do not think you will be successful in treating them in your display tank with coral. Do you have a treatment tank you could move them into?
