Ich QT - all or none?

[EDJFA]

I noticed some white stuff on my foxface this morning that I'm assuming is Ich. I'm going to set up a QT for him.

I also have:

Tailspot Blenny
Two False Percs
Yellow Watchman Goby
Coral Beauty
Two Chromis
McCosker's Wrasse
BT Anemones
Misc crabs and snails

Do I need to take all of the livestock out of my tank or just the Foxface who is showing the Ich?

I'm in the process of reading all the stickies, but I know I need to do something ASAP.

You need to take all them out and treat with cupramine. Leave tank fallow for 8 weeks

Only take the fish out. Inverts and corals can stay in there. From what I understand, they cannot survive Cupramine.

^^^^ Good advice above!

What is the white "stuff"?

Ich is distinct dots at its early stage, only later does it get fuzzy with secondary infection.

The difficulty is mostly in supporting all your fish for the 8 weeks of treatment.

What do you use as the medium of biological filtration? If you use live rock, it is hard to portion it: some for the fish and some for the inverts.

After copper treatment, some copper will deposit on the medium and some inverts won't do well as the result, even after the water has been changed to get rid of the copper in solution. Shrimps and crabs generally are not this sensitive to copper on the rock, but other inverts may be.
