Yep took out all but 1 angel for me 2 years ago around 40 fish in less than a week. And then another 7 or 8 over the next 3 months as it proved extremely difficult to eradicate. Fish looked just like that before their skin started falling off and they died a few hours later.
 
Oh man that looks awful!
 
They look terrible, but they are great examples of bad cases. I had a Regal Tang that had to be treated along with a bunch of new clowns recently. The tang made it and is pretty darn happy now thankfully.

Just curious, which treatment did you use?

Ruby reef rally in a QT and Metroplex. He's still in QT mainly because I'm a little gun shy with him and his clownfish buddies, but they seem to be perfectly healthy now. I'm just nervous about putting them back in my newly pristine fish only system.
 
At first I used Ichshield, even up to double recommended dosages it wasn't phased, after that I went to formalin dips every other day with metro in the tank waterwhich started to make a dent but sadly for a few of the fish I stopped to early.
