Relatively new to SW tank (had one in the 80s but a lot has changed since then). We purchased an existing 92 gal bow front corner tank (existing water and all) and have had it for almost two weeks. Yesterday I noticed one of our blue damsels had white spots which I read was probably "marine ich". We tried to catch it and ended up taking all 90 pounds of live rock out of the tank at 10:00 last night to finally catch it not to mention terrorizing all the other fish. Any suggestions for catching fish without all that stress and hassle? Also some have mentioned a QT tank but wouldn't that be like having a total other salt water tank set up? Pricey?

Also what is the possibility that the other fish will catch it and is there any way to treat the whole tank just in case?

Seem a little overwhelmed right now :squigglemouth:
