Sick Achilles tang

[fishguy777]

help!!
Got a 3” Achilles and 10” banana eel earlier today

Both are eating, eel more then tang. But still eating

The tang doesn’t have any spots, but does have severe discoloration on him, like making scales

I saw him scratch a couple times

I already fed the tank mysis with metroplex, kanaplex, and searchum focus mixed in

I’m aware this is a really delicate fish, and I want whatever he has to be cured asap.

The problem I’m running into is that the eel can’t take copper. And they’re in the same tank

I think it might be flukes, he’s becoming very frail. Will a fresh water dip cure the flukes, or is it too strong for a frail fish?
