TREATING SICK FISH IN REEF TANK?

i have a dsb and live rock. i was out of the fish tank hobby for 8 yrs just got back in. i hve two tanks both are doing well .. however i spoke to my lfs about fish getting sick and having lr in tank and i got scared. i forget the disease he spoke about that he said its in most fish but comes out evenutally in all .. anyhow u use copper to treat and he said if you hve live rock you will kill the organisms on the rock and pollute your tank possibly causing a recycle killin off all of your stock? is this true? how often if ever do fish need to be treated with copper . what r the risks of using in live rock dsb tank with no inverts or corals? are there alternatives? thank you so much for any help

they actually clean the parasites off of the fishes body. check them out in the inverts section under infor for hobbyists on this website, it will give you a detailed description.
