I lost 2 tangs I had in Qt to ich... the cleaner wrasse was with them and he seems to be doing fine. Do I continue the Copper Power treatment for him? I have read that wrasse are fairly immune from ich. Thoughts????

Wrasses are not immune to ich. How long have you had the cleaner? Is it eating well?

I'm far from an expert, but I would say as long as the wrasse doesn't show any adverse effects of the treatment put him through the full treatment cycle, and monitor the copper levels and his behavior.
