What fish could I add?

Be careful not to dose any medications into the display tank …..
but as mentioned above . Adding other fish will not end well .
Doing the same thing without changing but expecting a different outcome sounds silly .

@vetteguy53081 or jay can help with procedures for adding other fish

Quarantine at minimum and if no meds utilize hypo salinity or TTM for a measure of safety

The medication I have is reef safe and you add to the main tank.

Should you not want to treat the whole tank rather than just the fish as doesn't it stay within the tank. Treating the fish is fine but if its in the tank will it not just re infect the fish again?

If the medication is reef safe, it’s not going to get rid of the parasites and you’re going to lose more fish. You need to set up another small (10 gallon) bare bottom tank to use as a QT/hospital tank and leave your display tank fishless for 45 days with the temp increased to 82 degrees F.
