I stopped feeding meds since the water already has prazipro in it.. been fighting this for about 3 months now
For internal parasites you really need to food soak metro and/or prazi in order to eradicate them (in most cases.)

Yep I did that for the past few months. I soaked frozen and pellet food with Metro and focus for 3 weeks and general cure and focus for 3 weeks with a short break in between. Reason I’m not doing it now is one fish recently passed I thought it may have been caused by gill flukes so I added prazi in the water.

It would be experimental to try on a SW fish, but back when I used to breed Discus I always used fenbendazole to deworm them. Might be worth a shot; I don't think it can hurt anything.
In the past, I've bought it from here: http://store.nationalfishpharm.com/NFP-products-Fenbendazole-59905.Item.html

I'll look around for a smaller quantity which should be less expensive. I will have to think long & hard to remember dosage info though.

How did you make out with your fish? I'm having a similar situation and would love to know what you're end results were. I gave up and added my fish (tailspot blenny) to the display, but he keeps getting the stringy poop on and off... now one of my bimacs has a white string hanging out but I have fed mysis for the past 4 days in a row.
I took the anthias.
One died first day In my tank it was the male
Think my other 2 much bigger bi macs killed it.
Other lived for 5 months then found it on my carpet. The little one is still alive haven’t noticed any white strings
All I feed my fish is mysis shrimp and new life spectrum thera a
