Uronema on alleni damsels!

[neltel_7]

Today is just not my day, I found a couple issues with my DT but I just found a HUGE one in my QT.
I think I just found uronema on my alleni damsels. I am attaching pictures.
They are in QT with a yellow tang and a Kole tang. Should I remove the damsels? I don’t want it to spread to the tangs.

Both damsels have the same marking

Are tangs susceptible to this disease?

I think all fish are prone but mostly seen in chromis. It is opportunistic as far as I know so it won't show in healthy fish in a clean stable tank.

I decided I am going to remove the damsels. Should I just leave the tangs in and see what happens? I don’t have the resources to start a QT for the tangs

It is technically in the tank and it is the one disease that cannot be removed from what we know. Keep the water clean and make sure the tang is eating well.

How long should I wait (assuming they don’t show signs) before I put them in the display tank?

@Humblefish could you please help advise me on what my next course of action should be? It would be greatly appreciated.
