Seahorse Medication Help


I NEED TO FIND DE-WORMING MEDS THAT ARE SOLD IN AQUARIUM STORE'S FOR INTERNAL WORMS.
I CANNOT PURCHASE ON LINE RIGHT NOW.

I WAS TRYING Lifeguard Saltwater Fish Medication FOR (EXTERNAL) PARASITES:
Instant Ocean Lifeguard Saltwater Fish Medication---Active ingredient: 1-chloro-2,2,5,5-tetramethyl-4-imidazolidinone.

Safely and effective against bacterial, fungal, viral, and external (parasitic) fish diseases

(Is this a product I should be using?)

I followed the instructions and it has only been day two but now I will stop.

It says Not suitable for invertebrates or newly set up aquariums.

My aquarium is only three months old --- Is that considered a newly set up aquarium?

I WAS TOLD TO STOP TREATMENT USING THIS PRODUCT REASON :
It's a chlorine-based disinfectant, and as far as I can tell, I'm not sure it would be helpful against any of the pathogens we see in seahorses.

Are there suitable products found in Aquarium Stores I can purchase
for my wild caught seahorse?

I found the seahorse 8-9 weeks ago in the River in NJ.
I think it is a Lined Seahorse (Hippocampus erectus).
it is approximately 4 1/4 inches.
I keep my fish in a 20 gal ex high with wild caught piper fish and
two green chromis.
Its a river tank.
the tank was newly cycled for 4 full weeks when I CAUGHT THE SEAHORSE.
Cured Live rock- hermit crabs- snails.
Can I use Liquid PraziPro for internal worms this is a product
I can purchase in stores? Does it have to be ingested?
The seahorse eats live brine shrimp and frozen foods.
please help!!!!

There are no symptoms of external parasites no scratching.
But I was told to treat the seahorse for external and internal
worms and parasites.
The seahorse appears healthy not bloated or skinny.

thank you

I'm not sure if it's entirely legal in your location to catch wild seahorses but I wouldn't treat any fish for a disease or parasite you're not sure it has.
