Ich in my mixed reef

[_aka_olive_]

Does anyone have suggestions for treating ich in my mixed reef tank?

My tomini tang appears to have a good bit of white spots on his body.
My clown has been acting really weird, breathing heavy, frayed fins. (I did a paragard dip today)
My yellow wrasse is flashing against the Rocks.
The mandarin I just added a few days ago has a few white spots too now

I think I would like to treat the whole tank. Is there a tried and true reef safe option? I have torches, frogspawn, hammer, mushrooms, zoas, encrusting corals, montis, chalice, Duncan, candy cane coral, toadstool.

Unfortunately no reef safe method. U need to take fish out and treat meanwhile tank should stay fallow for 76 days.

Especially with coral in the tank, you will have to treat in a separate quarantine setting. The bad news is that the mandarin in yet a separate tank as it is not tolerant of the required copper treatment and also needs a constant supply of pods while in quarantine. The mandarin should be safe with General cure and the remaining fish with coppersafe or copperPower at 2.0-2.25 abd wrasse will need a deep bowl with sand for retreat.
Paraguard is a very weak form of treatment and rarely works.
Easiest method to catch these fish may be fish trap. A quarantine tank can be as simple as a tank from a second hand store or a starter kit from Walmart which most of the needed essentials.
As for the coral, they can remain in display safely and tank will have to be fishless (fallow) for 45-60 days. 76 days is an old rule and is now 6-8 weeks based on life cycles of parasites.

Please post pics under white lighting to verify what you have as described

There really are not any truly effective reef safe treatments for moderate to severe ich, they really only work in very mild cases.

Can you post pictures/videos of the fish? The symptoms you are describing don't all match up to ich, there may be something else going on, or you may have a mixed infection.
