Have you seen any white spots on him? Heavy breathing? Is he in a QT or the display? Any other fish in the display with him? Can you set up a QT?

I can't setup QT he is in the tank alone except 2 snails and 6 hermit crabs. I see the white spots

I see the white spots. He is hanging out by the heater now. I can't do aQT right now. Will it effect my snails and hermit crabs ? Live rock ?

Ich will not effect anything in the tank except for the fish. The only want to cure him is to remove him from the tank and leave the display fallow for 76 days and run the gramma through QT. There are several ways to accomplish this however. I suggest reading through these links for more detailed info.

I hate to say I might lose this one. If I take it out and it dies should I continue to run my tank. I guess I am saying will it be safe to put other fish in the tank after 6 weeks ?
