As I stated in a Previous post I will use a Quarantine tank for all new fish for the reef every time I get any! Only thing is, My wife didn't think about it and now I have a fish with ICH in the reef tank.
I bought the tank for QT but had not set it up yet so the wife didn't know.
The new Coral Beauty Angel is covered with ICH. As some of you know, Treatment is next to impossible in a reef because Copper meds will kill all the inverts, Live rock and live sand.
Discussed this with the top 3 LFS's in the area and have decided to let nature take it's course. I have a large Cleaner shrimp in the reef and the angel is going to him for cleaning quite often. All the LFS guys agree that a reef is the best environment to treat using this method. I went and bought a second Cleaner shrimp today (much Smaller) in the hopes that the angel will get double teamed by the shrimp. Looking for a cleaner goby as well to help.
So begins the long and hard wait and see game.
Will the angel get cleaned and come out of this or will she succumb? Only time will tell.
Please, Everyone....Never, Ever put any fish in your reef tanks without at least 2 weeks of quarantine in a separate tank!!
