Damsels and Ich???

Do all damselfish carry ich? I mean I know they all don't show it (my previous clowns did and my blue devil never showed any signs of ich throughout my couple infestations...I know that the blue devil and clowns are both damselfish). My quesiton is, after my last goup of fish were taken out by ich (a powder blue and two percs), my damsel survived and never showed any symptoms of ich. Is is possible that he was acting as a host over all this time and just never showed the adverse effects of ich? Has ich been surviving and reproducing in my tank the entire time without me knowing and that's why I have the sudden outbreak on my flame angel? Any advice/guidance always appreciated.
