8 weeks is the best to ensure it's gone but 4 weeks seems to be average for fluke

Never went fallow for flukes. Treated reef DT with Prazi-pro.

Ive dosed the tank previous for 7 days, but it seems they are still in the DT. I think I have a strain that is repellant to Prazi Pro.

Possible, but it may not be flukes. Prazi-Pro is out of the water within 3-4 days, so anything after that is really not helping. It is recommended to dose the first round and wait about 3-5 days and dose again to catch the hatching eggs.

I'm not sure what they are. They seem to like fins. I have noticed some look like they even have tails. They seem to come can go daily.They are white and are not under the scales. They are not very many on my clown at one time maybe 3 to 4. I have caught the clown to have a closer inspection but when I pull her out the tank they disapper almost like they jump off. I have noticed scratching on the sanded when the lights are off. This has been going on for 3- 4 weeks now. There is no heavy breathing they act pretty normal eat like troopers. I just don't know what to do.
