Ich question

I recently bought three tangs (Naso,Sailfin, and a Hippo) and introduced them all at once. They went into my 125g fowlr. The only other fish I had in it was a yellowtail damsel. There are a few dozen crabs and some sifting stars. I didn't quarantine them because I didn't figure it would do any harm if one of them had something. I'm pretty sure that wasn't a good idea. On the second day I discovered the Naso had Ich. On the fourth day all three of them had white spots but none as bad as the Naso. I have removed all three and placed them in a quarantine tank so I can treat them, however I can't catch the Damsel. I've tried for hours. Will the life cycle of the Ich still be disrupted even though the damsel is present, or will the Damsel just allow the Ich to stay in my tank? Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks
 
from what i have heard the life cycle will keep continuing (prolly in smaller ammounts) but when you put the tangs back in ich will get back to where you started with it... try a fish trap a few days after not feeding him...
