The best way to treat any type of parasitic is also the cheapest. "Hyposalinity" Just bring your salinity down to about 19 or 18 for about 2 -3 weeks. You fish can tolarate the salinity while the parasites can't . The is the safest way of doing things without damaging you tank if you ever want to go reef.
If you must use a medication, formulin and malichite is your best bet.
Copper is good but most copper will never leave your rocks and substrate. It will basically kill your live rock. If you have to use copper us seachem cuperine. They have a cupersorb that will take it all out.
