    thank you.
    I had replied to you via PM, hope you find that information useful and good luck.
    Unfortunately there is no miracle cures for this and you should be prepared for a battle, the easiest way is to quarantine your fish and keep your display tank fallow for 6 weeks or so. This will end the life cycle of parasite and you can transfer fish back then.
    How large is your tank, by the way? I hope it's at least over 200 gallons to house those three tangs in the same tank.
    Kind regards,

    Gene.
