QT fish to cure ICH

[jefftse]

Hey guys. Unforunately, I got ich in my display tank and I used kick-ich and it didn't do a thing. so I'm picking up a second tank to QT with hypo with all fish for 4-6 weeks. I have a couple questions,

1. I have cleaner wrasse and Mandarin fish. Do I need to QT them too? I heard mandrin will never get ich because their oily skin and I would think cleaner wrasse will clean it off.

2. Do I need to QT inverts? I have shrimps, snails and crabs.

3. Do I need to do anything with the coral?

Thanks
Jeff

QT all fish. Leave the crabs, snails and shrimp, but fishless for 6-8 weeks.

If you want to insure an ich free tank then yes.

Besides, how is a cleaner wrasse going to clean itself?

Everything will do fine with QT. For the future I want to add that you QT everything that is wet going into your tank, those that eat, those that photosynthesis and those that aren't technically live, ie sand, rock, even water that has been in a system with fish. everything. You don't treat anything but fish, but it does have to stay out of the main system for atleast 6 weeks 8 is better. Also, If you bought the cleaner wrasse for function rather than appearance, you won't need him. There is a good chance he would die, there is speculation that they only eat parasites in the wild. Not sure, if he is eating regular food too, he still may need the suplemental parasite to survive. The mandarine may also be an issue considering they mostly only eat pods. Keep that in mind when QT.
Good luck
