Would you take coral from a tank that had ich?

yeah I agree.....so if you need help getting rid of some...let me know...I will definately help you out....lol

all you have to do is quarantine the new corals for a few weeks and there would be no ich to worry about, so yes, I would take corals from an ich tank

I've never had a problem with ick except for when I first started my reef tank and didn't have enough oxygenation as I used only powerheads. Then, ick killed my fish fairly quickly. Nowadays, I get ick only once in a while for various reasons (new fish or overdosing some additive), but the fish fight it off on their own (even without the UV running). So I have no fear of taking corals nor fish from a tank with ick. I don't recall ever losing a saltwater fish to ick after my first few months of reefkeeping.

If you quarantine corals before you put them into your main tank their should be no problem. You can also do a dip on them like you do to freshwater plants. I would however want to check water quality of the tank and how it has affected the coral since it has affected the fish. unless the fish were just added.

I would agree with Chaloupa and quarintine it for a couple weeks.

Thanks for the replies.

As for setting up a QT tank for corals such a acros, what's required. Would be for frags so already have a small tank (10g) a small HOB filter but what for lighting? Would something like a screw-in CF (such as these) be enough to keep the frags happy?

Yep...got no fish in the tank anyways but all you have to do is QT them. They can easily take a couple of hours.
