Emergency ICH Help

I have a 9 gallon with 2 Ocellaris Clowns, a tank raised Seahorse and a Blood Red Fire Shrimp.

Woke up this morning to one Clown completely covered in tiny white spots and the other with some.

I've been doing some crash reading in the stickies on ICH. I don't have a QT set up yet but have Saltwater, extra heater and Filter. I also read in the stickies that I can try Hyposalinity.

At work now so I can't do anything until I get home.

Any suggestions?
 
At first I thought the 9 gallon was the QT! Seahorses can't be treated with hypo or copper that I'm aware of. TTM may be your best bet.

I'll have to set up a separate Tank, Tub, Bucket for QT, probably a 10 gallon tank, treat with Copper and keep them there for 9 weeks. I'll leave the snails and the Blood Red Fire Shrimp in the Display Tank.

As to the SeaHorse I have no idea.
 
I'm sorry but you have more issues than just ich. A 9 gallon with 2 clowns and a seahorse is not acceptable by any means. Maybe you should do some more reading on how to keep these animals properly. Your clowns need 25-30 gallons min as well as the seahorse depending on species which shouldn't be kept with clowns in the first place.

Also like mrscribbled said read up on tank transfer.
