Ich help!

[Gelez23]

Hello,
We have a 30gl salt and have some signs of Ich from our cleaner fish & royal gramma. We have a hospital tank set up and cycled to treat with copper but can’t catch the two because they keep going into crevices or holes in the love rock. Does anyone have any tips or tricks? He’s about 1.25 in long & the gramma is about 2 in. We have plenty corals and invertebrates hence why we are not treating the entire display tank. We have tried food in the net but didn’t really do well.

A fish trap works wonders but because these fish are small, you can make your own with a plastic soda bottle as shown below and baited with brine shrimp

You can try Polyplab Reef medic. It works for mild cases (in the display tank).
