Need Help Fast

[jlschweda1971]

I've got a 50ish tank with my frags, some live rock (2 pieces that have an anemone that split), 2 clowns, tang, and a blenny. I just woke up to find that the Tang is covered in Ich and doesn't appear to be able to survive. I've never dealt with Ich and I am new to the hobby.

I need to know if I should remove the LR, anemones, and frags to my DT and treat the tank with just the fish in it. I didn't know if Ich affects the LR or Anemone or Frags. I don't want to transfer anything to my DT if it can carry the parasite.

Please advise quickly!

Thanks!

You DO NOT want to do this. The risk is too great that some of the parasites might "hitchhike" on over. You'll need to treat the fish in a separate QT.

Agreed. If the fish is not eating, it might be too late. The only option is to get the fish out and try to nurse it back to health....hard to do if the fish is almost dead too.
