Bumps on Blue

[VetReefer]

As you all know I was going through an ich outbreak along with some bacterial infection. I'm running copper in the display now. Everyone looks perfect besides my powder Blue. Just want to know what it is so I can treat. He has bumps not really white spots. He's the only one with it. Feed Algemaxx pellets and Reefroit Herb

Temp 79
Salt 1.26
Ph 7.56
Cupramine .51

Because of their small scales, PBT show skin bumps pretty commonly. I’m just trying to figure out if they are ich scars, or from flukes. I wouldn’t do anything right now except keep an eye on their relative numbers.

If you dose with prazipro, be sure to aerate the exhibit water well with an air stone and run your skimmer with he collection cup not catching anything.

Praziquantel breaks down after about 36 hours. You need to dose at least twice, sometimes 3x in order to kill any unhatched eggs. The spacing of the treatments is a bit of a guess I use 7 to 10 days apart at tropical temperatures.
