Your inverts will not carry the parasite. The problem now of course is that you have now got the fish in the maintank and thus it measn its now in the water colum most probably.
If its not iching then i would just monitor closely. It might be healthy enough to fight the parasite off on its own.

If you want other forms of traetment you can try the following.

Garlic, use it as an additive to food, seems to be very effective.
UV filter, make sure you have the correct flow through the system.
Cuprazin, extremly effective but NOT safe in with corals and inverts.
Octozin, a reef safe alternative to Cuprazin
Oodinex, another reef safe product.

Start Garlic right away... it's an appetite stimulator as well...purely natural.
Good luck - Kim

You can dose the tank with garlic, this is another option instead of just adding to food.

 

[gmang]

how do u usualy dose with garlic and will it hurt coral or inverts

Directions:  Add 2 drops Garlic Xtreme per teaspoon of fish food each time you feed.  Do not feed more than can be eaten in a five minute period.  Use particularly if parasites are present or fish have visible wounds or infections.   If fish are not eating, Garlic Xtreme may be also added to the aquarium at the rate of 1 drop per 10 gallons.

Considerations for use:  Kent Garlic Xtreme is an all natural food additive for all ornamental fishes.  It is a natural attractant for fish and will help cause finicky eaters to take food.  Garlic is safe for all species of marine and freshwater fishes and plants, live corals, and other invertebrates. Because Garlic Xtreme is very strong and fish are extremely sensitive to chemical cues and scents in the water, it's not recommended that you exceed 2 drops per feeding, or fish may become confused. For optimal nutrition, feed your fish Kent Platinum foods with Zoecon technology.  Kent foods combine high-quality marine sources of protein with essential vitamins and minerals, and contain no hormones, steroids, or artificial color enhancers.

Hope this helps !
