I have head from a few people that certain fish are less likely to get ICH such as firefish which may hold some truth. About 2 months ago I had ICH in my tank and lost everything but the firefish and a yellow tang (yeah I know go figure). I added in some clowns a little over a week ago (nice 60 day waiting peroid to add fish in the display tank) an they are looking great... nock on wood. I have also heas that Anthias are great at not getting ICH as well but havent found any post or research on it...?
 
Most anthias are very resistant to ick unless it is a very very heavy outbreak. The one that I noticed survives the best were barletts. My sunburst, evansi, and lyretails didn't handle ick well.

But I noticed at a LFS that borbonius anthias get ick even if it is not a heavy outbreak.
