Prazipro in reef tank?

[Fin-up reefing]

I know most of you will say to pull all fish out and QT them but I do not have the funds to do so.. 90% of my fish in my 210 got flukes over night somehow.. I have prazipro but I'm not going to dose it if it will kill my coral.. Has anyone had experience with this medication in the reef tank?

From humblefish's thread
Prazipro is generally considered reef safe, although it may kill any tube worms/feathers dusters you have. It may also eradicate bristle worms. If you have mass quantities of these, the resulting die-off can lead to an ammonia spike. After treatment is done, activated carbon may be used to remove any residuals (if you need to use a different medication next). This is important because the Oxybispropanol (solubilizing agent) Prazipro contains will sometimes cause a bacterial bloom (cloudy water) when mixed with other meds. If using a protein skimmer post-treatment, be advised that it will “over skim” for at least a week or so.

Thank you so much, but you don't think it'll kill my corals? I know this sounds terrible but I'd rather lose the fish over the corals.. I've got some high end stuff that would kill me if I lost them

I’ve used it in my mixed reefer 450 with no problems. My feather dusters eventually recovered about a month later. No problems with any of my expensive sps either.
