Blue Tang w/ Ich

[luisprado]

What would you guys recommed for a blue tang with ich in a reef system where it is almost impossible to catch and quarantine?

I went away for the weekend and left a beautiful healthy tank. I come back and find out that the chiller went out and I can't even imagine what the temps might have been but I noticed some ich on my blue tang this morning.

Thanks.

i think it'll be ok. Probably just stressed the ick will go away when the fish is happy again.

get a cleaner shrimp..

I agree with john37. It will go away on its own when the fish is happy(doing better).
But Blue Neon Goby works great.

I 3rd leaving it alone and letting it recover on its own.

Cool, I will leave him alone. I do have a blue neon goby working on him already too.

I'm assuming the neon goby nibbles on the fish to clean it? I have a pretty large royal gramma, about 3-4 inches, would it potentially eat/kill a small neon goby?

I had a royal gramma in with my blue tang, GSM and blue neon goby and they all got along just fine. Royal gramma never once bothered my neon goby.
