Blue Tangs are very ich prone. Try soaking your fish food in a garlic supplement. Hopefully the goby will help out too. There are other things that you can do if you remove the tang to a hospital tank.

I would just beef up its feedings with alot of greens. I would get some garlic supplement, some vita-chem and selcon and add to its feedings. Usually they can fight it on it owns but it could already be to late. If its still eating you have a chance.

No the cleaner goby is fine he cleans him all the time just too much ich I guess, I got rid of the ich but the fish hasnt come out of his rock all day it may have been too late. I can see him breathing and moving his fins in the rock though. He has some light purple spots on him.

The goby is a really good way to fight ich. It is a very good sign that you have seen him cleaning the tang.
Keep offering garlic soaked and enriched food. You may want to go for a day without lights to reduce stress.

I did a freshwater dip and the ich is gone. The fish is alive but he is hiding in his rock and wont come out. I dont know if he got himself stuck or not cuz I dont know how he got into the small gap. I know he has hid there before so he must know how to get out of it.

Let him rest. Dips are stressful.

My tang dropped the ich it looks like once he spent a day hiding in his rock. I thought it was still there but I looked today and he looked like it was gone. He is also eating so thats good. The only thing I noticed is that it has some purple spots on its body so I think the ich may have eaten away at it but I have no clue.

Good news. Keep feeding fortified food to help him recover and not get reinfected.
