Ich concern

[DeepSeaRob17]

I have a 32 gallon AIO system. It’s about a month old. This is what I have in the tank today.
1 green clown goby
1 kamohara blenny
1 flame angel
2 baby clowns
CUC
4 nasarius snails
5 astrea snails
1 cleaner shrimp
1 brittle star
Coral
Few very small pods of zoas
1 hammer
1 ricordia

I started out with a chromis, he was I. The tank for 2 weeks by himself, I found the kamohara blenny and decided to get him. Seemed healthy, was very active, didn’t seem picked on or aggressive at all. I introduced him to the tank after a 1 hour acclimation.The chromis instantly started to beat on him. Never seen it before, I know, “an aggressive chromis... yeah right”. I heard it a few times but he did, every chance he had he would beat on the blenny. The chromis went away and we got 2 baby clowns. about 2 weeks later I think everything is going just fine so I introduce the angle. When I did I noticed a couple small white spots on the blennys tail. I thought “crap I have ich”. Now the LFS boasts they treat with copper. The blenny was there for 3 weeks. All the fish come from the same shop, and all their specimens look very healthy. Now it looks kinda cloudy on the blennys tail, not just a spot but the lower half of his tail looks that way. Could it just be scarring from the chromis attack or could it be ich. I can’t get a good picture because he swims around so much and so fast, he hardly stops and when he does it’s not for long. He eats more than anyone else in the tank, he is a pig. I don’t know what to do, I don’t have a quarantine yet (now realizing that would have been a good idea) thoughts?

Oh and non of the other fish share the same symptom... no one else seems to have any problems. The angle has only been in the tank for 24 hours now but the clowns went in at the same time and the goby went in with the chromis but hides all the time, when he does come out he looks perfect

Without pics no one can answer. Keep an eye on it I guess, yes it could be battle wounds. Crypto (ich) looks like salt sprinkled on fish, not to be confused with sand

It’s defiantly not all over him, the rest of him looks great. All the other fins look perfect except for his right pectoral fin... it’s missing a chunk from the chromis, it’s just a small dot on his tail and then the milky looking discoloration around it. I really wish I could get him to sit still long enough to get a good photo, I have been trying, while I am trying I have noticed him pick at his tail... he reached back and kinda bites it... I know he has fangs. Maybe he is scratching it and scarring it himself

Ok... I did some research and figures out what I think it is. I think it’s flukes... I’m setting up a quarantine tank today to treat.
signs that point to flukes
The one fish with that is suspected to have the parasite is flashing now, he gulps for air at the surface, no salt like spots, hides at the top corners of the tank at night with his mouth out of the water. The one spot he has on his tail has a border. I’m going to pull everyone and set up quarantine today and get some treatment.

It has taken me two days but I finally got the clown goby out of the tank without destroying my rock work. Now... how long do I need to wait with the tank fallow to kill flukes off?
