I think my bicolor blenny might have some kind of parasite. I did some research and it seems like a monogenean (fluke, tremetode) parasite may be the closest thing I can find. He has some discolored spots on his head that are raised and change shape and size. It looks like something might be moving underneath also. He rubs his head (flashes) on the rocks occasionally too.... Any experience with this or treatment advice?

I need to set up a QT tank but I don't have one yet. I can bring it to my friend at the LFS and put him in the hospital tanks there. Any specific treatment that you know of for this parasite?
