Can Ich Transfer With Corals/rocks?
 
Just wondering from everyone's experience/expertise, is ich transferable with/on corals &/or rock? If a fish population got wiped out recently due to ich, can/should I buy corals from that tank & if yes, do they need to be specially treated before placing them into my tanks?

Yes ick can be transferd from tank to tank on corals or on anything eles from the affected tank.

It's hard to treat coral as they wont do well in a hypo or copper environment.

Only way to go is wait it out for two month before u buy the corals or buy them and Quarantine the corals in a seperate tank with no live stock (fish) for a while.

Kind of thought that would be the answer, just wanted to be sure.
