he actually seems a little better today.
Hes probably knocked the parasite off and its now reproducing eggs in your substrate. Not to worry you but this is something you will have to deal with now or later. Anytime you add fish, make changes to your tank, or large water changes you could stress the fish to a point he, or any other fish, could get the parasite again.. I would read up on QT or hospital tanks.... as removing hosts from your display tank, thus removing food sources for the parasite, is the best solution for killing the parasite completely.
My coral display has been infected with ick for over a year. Im just to lazy to go in and catch all those little fish, not to mention tear apart my reef! They just dont get stressed anymore and I minamize changes to that tank other than normal reef husbandries.
I know its there because once in a while you'll see a fish scratching against LR...
Just thought you should be aware that you will have the parasite until you treat it properly....
