HELP! I believe my fish have developed ick

. Need help or advice on what to do. What meds work best? I do have sand/live rock/crabs/shrimps/corals (hard and soft) and of course fish (clowns and damsels). Please help. I do not want to be steered wrong, figured I would ask here first. Never had this happen before

Heres a few articles to read. Hopefully they will help you.
IMO I would QT the fish and use the Hyposalinity option.

If you can't QT the fish try to keep the Water Quality of the tank as good as possible. Many people swear by adding garlic to their food as well. Ive never had ICH myself but I can try to get Lee to jump in on this thread as she is the resident fish doctor.

There was just a thread going in the last 2 or 3 days about ich that has lots of information in it. Lee posted some really good recommendations and information. Just search this board.
