I believe it’s 76 days unless you raise the temperature to 80.6, then I think it drops to 4 weeks for ich.

Thanks alot but if I still have corals in my tank won't that high of a temp stress them out? And will the parasite stay on my corals?

45 days if you maintain the temperature at 81F or higher; 60-76 days if it's lower than 81F.

81F should be fine for corals, but if you're uncomfortable with it, then just do the 60-76 days.

Yes, the parasite is still in your tank, and will remain in the tank on various things (like your rocks, corals, inverts, etc.) for a while - waiting the 60-76 days ensures that the parasite has died off before fish are added again.

I think the corals would be alright.
Ich can’t survive without a fish in the tank on or off the corals is my understanding.
