Flukes?

Over the last few weeks in particular, my fish are rubbing themselves (head) into the sand. Now it seems most of them are doing however. I know ICH can cause fish to do that too, but I don't see the usual white spots on the body. The only thing I did see was oval (ish) white spots on the pectoral fins. It did not resemble ICH and was not round or on the body. I do not feel comfortable doing fresh water dips. I know that is the easiest way, but each time I've done it, they've died.

2 rounds of prazi pro, 5 days apart. Can even do 3 rounds if you feel the need. Completely reef safe. I've just done 3 rounds in a tank with acros with no problem whatsoever.

Gotta good picture? They will look clearish and oval. I've done litterally 100's of FW dips with no deaths. If they die during it, they were beyond saving. I promise you can do this. It's the easiest way to find out for sure.

You can go ahead and prazi the tank though, but I figure I would rather know for sure I need to before taking that (even slight) risk.

Well, I didn't do a dip, but I treated with two rounds of Prazi. It seems to have helped. I haven't noticed them rubbing since I did it.
