i don't know how well a shrimp will help, i have feeling it will not cure the fish especailly if the fish does not cooperate as some fish just won;t let a cleaner shrimp touch them. the only thing i know of that will safley rid a reef tank of ick is a uv sterilizer, they are expensive but they work (trust me, i don't use a quarintine tank i just turn on the uv when i get a new fish... i had ick break out when i relocated a tank and stressed the fish, the UV worked, and it worked for my freshwater tank when it broke out in ick and some strange fungus...)

if you want to try the shrimp they are available almost anywhere, i have even seen them at petco. i know that o-street had ALOT of them when i was there on monday.

I think my case is same as your. Fishes are just relocated in last weekend and the ick show up. I ran a 16 watt uv light in the old tank. Let me get my act together and have it setup tonight. At the meantime, I am feedig garlic fixed food to them.

Thx.
