i dont think you can treat a reef? is it in QT???

I dont think there is anything out there that you can cure ich with if you have a reef tank. Best thing to do is get a small 10g tank set it up for a qt and treat them with it.

The problem is that the cysts will have dropped off and will be a problem going forward. Treatment must be done in a QT or hospital tank.

reef^^ is right.
use melamix for popeye..it works good for me, you can find that at any lfs usually.
copper treatment works best and use ONLY in QT.
look up how to set up a QT fast. my queen angel died of ich/popeye =( good luck it sucks i know.
