Yeah wanted to make sure that the rest of the fish didnt get it.
Also maybe you might know I have a 55 gal that had 3 clowns and I got up to feed them they looked fine when I went back a few hours later I had 2 dead and one looking pretty rough. They all had like a slimy looking white film on them. Any ideas as to what might it might have been? I also have 4 Chromis in that tank and they haven't shown any signs of problems or anything.

Sounds like your clowns had Brooklynella. My guess is you recently purchased them, as many sold in LFS have the disease and dont even make it a week in the fish store. Also putting tangs with obvious signs of ich in a tank is asking for trouble. Can you quarentine them? Ich can get into your tank and survive for awhile even without showing signs of infection.

What is a good size tank to quarentine in? I have a 10 gal and a 30 gal. The 30 has crushed coral and a couple of fish (lion fish, Shark) but those can be moved if need be.
