No it doesn't look like sesame seeds while it's on the eye. Just that cloudy filmy bit. There are probably several on the eye, overlapping. It's when they fall off, that you see what they look like. I've looked at them under a microscope and they have a little round set of 'teeth' with which they latch on. Creepy.
All fish *can* get them but they seem to prefer angels most, followed by tangs. If it was me, I'd dip the angel to confirm the diagnosis, then treat the whole tank with PraziPro.
Edit: Here's a link to Fenner's site. I love this site but the format is kind of hard to read but if you scroll down you'll see some pictures. http://www.wetwebmedia.com/fshwrmdisflukef.htm">http://www.wetwebmedia.com/fshwrmdisflukef.htm</a> I am not the "Jenn" in the correspondence, but there are a number of dialogs that fit the same profile for flukes.

How long did you treat the tank with the PraziPro? A few days, until the issue was gone? It appears I only put it in the water once every few days and turn off the skimmer and uv while treating. I'm doing a water change tomorrow and I'll vac the sand. I'll probably do another water change next weekend and kick on the skimmers and uv.
