Well ive read about it and now having to deal with ICH.

If you can post a video under white lights, we can confirm that this ich, judge the degree of infection, and then give you treatment options.

This is mucus cones often from a skin irritation and at times are mixed in with ich and Often you will notice other occupants show no signs but recommended is to remove all fish and treat them as well using coppersafe or copper power for a full 30 days at 2.25ppm which they respond to well and add an air stone and monitor copper level with a reliable Copper Test kit such as Hanna Brand- No API brand. Also monitor Ammonia levels while in quarantine with a reliable test kit and add aeration during treatment using an air stone.

Yep - that’s a moderate case of ich. Is just the tang showing spots?

Your two best options cannot be done in a tank with invertebrates; hyposalinity or coppersafe. Let me know if you need a walkthrough on either treatment.
