so I've encountered my first problem with my saltwater tank, my royal gramma was very lethargic, so I pulled him out and noticed very translucent worms crawling all over him. I did a 10 min freshwater dip and that killed and removed about 35 worms, I assume there are still eggs in his gills. I believe these are monogenean tremetodes. They're oval with three spots in the middle, about 1-3mm in length. I believe the royal gramma was wild caught. What else can I do to treat him? What can I do to treat the tank?:confused:
 
anybody? The royal gramma passed, I didn't think he'd make it through the night. I'm going to remove everyone and give them a freshwater dip to be safe.
