It should work just fine if it is Turbellarian worms (Paravortex). Just be sure to follow the directions carefully for >>hyposalinity<< and be watchful of the ph/alk while the fish is being treated. It has a tendancey to drop off. You have ruled out lympho and fungus?Boxster said:
Any other fish in the tank will also be affected so hopefully the tang was introduced to the QT on arrival.

Lymphocystis will generally appear as a rough lump much like a wart and somewhat greyish in appearance. Fungus will look similar but white and will have a cotton like appearance. I realize you have stated the affliction is black in appearnace but hypo will have no affect on the two I've mentioned so I just want to rule out other possibilities.
If the hypo is effective you are in the clear and I would honestly suggest you proceed on that assumption for now. The hypo treatment will not adversley affect the tang when done correctly and you will be sure of a healthier parasite free fish.
