Trying to save a Regal tang

[6272862829]

Got a regal tang that it's been in my tank for 2 weeks and it has ich I looking for someone that can help me save it. Is there a member on the club that is willing to keep it for a while and try to save it I'm new in this hobby so don't know much. I'm willing to pay if someone is willing to do it.

I would catch it and put in qt and treat it. Or u can try your luck and feed some garlic foods and get cleaner shrimp or neon goby.
A 10g tank would work for qt

Is it eating?

it only eats when the food get close to the cave that it hides

are you sure it's icy and not flukes? Tangs are notorious for flukes and treatment for ich doesn't solve it very well. flukes are white velvety patches, on fins and then attack the gills, often leading to secondary infection.

It has faded patches on the belly and on sides plus I seen it scratching on a rock last night.

that doesnt really sound like ich. faded patches leads me to believe its a fungus of some sort. I have a 55 gallon hospital tank that I keep up and running, but I'm not sure if the fish would handle the transport very well.

Now that sound alike flukes. I used Hikari Prazipro very successfully. It is tanks are as well, and really did work.

Faded color spots on a new fish are usually stress spots. My naso had them but got over them once he got used to tank after few weeks

Updates on the tang. Well still alive and eating like crazy and swimming all over the place and real active but still have ich. The neon goby tries to clean him but after a second the regal gets mad and tries to attack him it happens all the time lol. I also see him scratching but other than that is looks really active. On the other hand one of my clowns stop eating and has become less active and stays in one corner all day it does not have ich but can't figure out how To make him eat.
