It is actually a worm parasite but most people refer to it commonly as black ich. It's actually called turbellarian and the parasites are planarian. It is most common in tangs.

if you feel this treatment isn't working you can call up your vet and try to get praziquantel (Droncit) which is a dewormer and it can be put directly into the QT at 1mg/L or you can mix it into food: 250mg/100grams of food.
